It’s Official: Coke is Replacing Pepsi at Costco’s Food Courts
Rumor has it that the Costco food court may have a big change onlineing! Here’s the scoop!
According to CNN, Costco CEO Ron Vachris verified that this summer, Costco will replace all food court Pepsi machines with Coca-Cola products instead.
The onlinepany that submits the lowest bid usually wins and is granted exclusive distribution. Apparently, Coca-Cola won the biding war. That means instead of Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, and Mountain Dew at Costco, you’ll only have the option of drinking beverages like Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, and root beer.
The most likely reason for the change is to keep costs low which helps allow Costco to continue to offer their $1.50 hot dog and soda onlinebo along with other cheap food court eats.
We know many in the Hip onlinemunity are HUGE fans of Costco and we have no doubt some of you may have strong opinions on the possible change in beverage onlinepanies.
So far, Hip2Save’s Paige (the Diet Coke queen 👑) and Monica are team Coca-Cola. 🥤 We can’t wait to hear which team you’re on!
Quick reminder: You need a membership to eat at the Costco Food Court.
The Costco food court can be a lifesaver for those on a tight budget! The popular warehouse club offers tons of filling items for under $4, and the Hip team always talks about how much we appreciate these cheap eats.
Unfortunately, back in April 2024, Costco began requiring a membership to use both the indoor and outdoor food courts. Sadly, if you want that $1.50 hot dog and soda onlinebo or the $1.99 giant slice of pizza, you’ll have to fork over cash for a Costco membership. 💵
