You may be thinking of Amazon that was operating at break even as they expanded. They are about the only company that has pulled off the grab market share at a loss, then turn it around model. Hasn’t worked for the airline industry yet, and it’s been tried a lot.
No No... I mean lost money only at certain stores and locations.....They would go into neighborhoods and intentionally operate at a loss to eliminate competition that was mostly small business owners who couldn't match scale.
