10. Costco Stores -- Companies
    Threats of a Costco takeover by Sam's Clubs, which by 1993 owned 434 stores and nearly half of the market, prompted Price to begin merger negotiations with Costco in 1992. Costco, too, was eager to avoid being swallowed up by Sam's and was equally frightened by the prospect of Price selling out to Sam's Club. Yet negotiations broke down when the parties could not decide on who would head the projected new company. When Price's earnings continued to drop... down 40 percent in the second quarter of 1993, Price finally entered into a deal with Costco. Sinegal would take the CEO position and Robert Price was named as chairman of the board. Called a partial merger, the two companies would continue to operate their respective headquarters, with the bulk of domestic responsibility going to Costco and international business to be headed by Price.
