  Sorry, you’re correct - I should have said they do not make a loss on the sales, (turn a profit is obviously a bit of a stretch) since they use their existing infrastructure to offset the operational expenses.

    Yeah, and that’s exactly what a “loss leader” is defined by. They make no profit off the hotdog combo itself but the hotdog combo may be enough of an incentive for someone to come to Coscto in the first place and end up buying more shit that does make a profit.
