The Costco switch from Pepsi to Coca-Cola drinks at the food court is currently underway.
Changes at Costco food courts began to be rolled out in all Costco warehouses at the beginning of July, the Coca-Cola company said in a statement to Fox Business, adding that all Costco food courts will offer Coca-Cola products by fall.
Costco and Coca-Cola did not immediately respond to USA Today’s request for comment.
Meanwhile, Costco Canada announced in a social media post that “Coca-Cola has officially joined the lineup of drinks at Costco Food Courts across Canada.”
Costco announced a switch from Pepsi in January
Ron Vachris, CEO of the warehouse retail giant, announced on January 23 that Costco will switch its food court fountain to Coca-Cola products.
According to CNN, the company previously switched from Coca-Cola to Pepsi products in 2013, maintaining the price of the tent pole $1.50 hot dog combo.
