In Wenatchee Valley, fresh strawberries signal the start of summer. While we wait for local harvests, Costco has introduced a delightful summer treat: the Strawberry Shortcake Sundae. This sundae is available for just $2.99 and comes with creamy strawberry soft serve, sweet strawberry topping, and soft shortcake pieces. It’s a classic dessert, perfect for warm days.
Costco is also making some changes to its food court menu. The beloved caramel churro sundae is being replaced by this new treat. For fans of strawberry, this is exciting news. However, chocolate lovers might be disappointed. With the machines supporting only two flavors, chocolate soft serve has been put on hold for the time being. Customers can now choose between vanilla and strawberry only.
Despite the temporary pause on chocolate, many shoppers are buzzing about the new sundae. Expert opinions hint that seasonal flavors can boost sales, especially with warm weather approaching. According to a recent survey by National Retail Federation, 62% of consumers plan to buy ice cream or frozen treats this summer. So, the timing couldn’t be better for Costco’s new sundae.
This sundae is also a great option for those heading to Lake Chelan. Whether you’re making a quick stop after work or stocking up for a weekend getaway, it’s the perfect way to cool off. Just keep in mind that it’s only available for a limited time.
In the grand scheme, food courts have evolved significantly over the years. Remember when nachos and hot dogs were the staples? Fast forward to today, and now we see innovative choices like sundae creations. Food trends come and go, reflecting consumer tastes and preferences.
