Costco members sound off as Pepsi-to-Coke switch begins nationwide
Costco just made a major change to its food court drinks
- Costco has finalized its transition from selling Pepsi products to exclusively Coca-Cola products in its food courts nationwide.
- The change has generated a mixed reaction among customers, with some expressing disappointment over the loss of Pepsi and others welcoming the return of Coca-Cola.
- Costco had previously offered Coca-Cola before switching to Pepsi products in 2013, a move reportedly made to maintain the $1.50 price of its popular hot dog combo.
- The wholesaler's CEO, Ron Vachris, confirmed in January that the company would be converting its food court fountain business back to Coca-Cola.
- The shift has been noted as triggering a strong customer reaction, reflecting the cultural significance and personal attachment many have to either the Coca-Cola or Pepsi brand.
