LAFAYETTE, La. – Costco is a favorite for people looking to save by buying in bulk. It has a huge following, especially here in Louisiana. Its popularity keeps climbing.
One of the best parts of visiting Costco is the food court, especially for its tasty hot dogs and pizza. Exciting news is on the way for these food courts, particularly for fans in the South and Louisiana.
Coca-Cola is Back!
For many years, Costco served Coca-Cola in its food courts. However, in 2013, they switched to Pepsi. This change aimed to keep the famous hot dog combo, which has been just $1.50 since 1985, affordable.
Now, Costco is returning to Coca-Cola products. This switch won’t change the price of the hot dog combo, despite some speculation about costs. According to CNN, Costco balances expenses by slightly increasing prices on other food items, like pizza.
Coca-Cola fans were buzzing with excitement when the store announced this switch. Reports even indicate a shareholder directly asked about it during a meeting.
Coca-Cola’s Stronghold in Louisiana
In Louisiana, Coca-Cola reigns supreme. As per DataPandas, it’s the top soda in the state, with Pepsi far behind. The ranking looks like this:
- Coca-Cola
- Dr. Pepper
- Root Beer
- Mountain Dew
- Pepsi
Clearly, this change is fantastic news for shoppers in Louisiana, and many are looking forward to sipping on their favorite cola at Costco.
