Great news for soda lovers! Costco is switching back to Coca-Cola for its food court drinks. After 12 years with Pepsi, you can now enjoy classics like Coke, Diet Coke, Coke Zero, and Sprite with your meal. This change is part of Costco’s commitment to keeping prices low, including its famous $1.50 hot dog and soda deal.
Costco’s CEO, Ron Vachris, announced this news at a recent shareholder meeting. He explained that the switch back to Coca-Cola will help maintain the great value that shoppers expect. Many long-time Costco customers will remember that Coca-Cola used to be the drink of choice before they switched to Pepsi in 2013.
As for the price of the $1.50 meal deal, there hasn’t been any news indicating a change. When Costco switched to Pepsi, it was intended to help keep that price stable. This combo has remained unchanged since 1985, which is remarkable in today’s world of rising prices. Last year, Costco’s CFO reassured everyone that this deal would stay safe from inflation, despite membership prices increasing.
If you love heading to Costco’s food court, get ready for a familiar taste with the return of Coca-Cola products.
