Costco CEO confirms Pepsi has been removed from food courts as popular drink returns for first time in 12 years

Pepsi will no longer be offered for sale at food courts across the United States, according to the CEO of Costco.

Ron Vachris said that Coca-Cola, the brand’s rival, will take its position in the drink changeover.

According to CNN, he made the announcement about the drinks shakeup during a shareholders meeting on Thursday.

For twelve years, Pepsi has been a staple in food courts all throughout the country.

Given that the transition will take place in the summer, the brand’s days seem to be numbered.

However, it appears that Vachris’ choice has caused discord among consumers.

In order to maintain the low cost of their well-known hot dog, Costco replaced Coke with Pepsi in 2013.

Costco is well-known for offering a $1.50 hot dog and Coke combo, which has been popular with customers.

However, there had been growing rumors that the offer’s price will be raised by the bosses.

This occurred as a result of former Costco CEO Richard Galanti’s apparent inability to guarantee the agreement would remain at $1.50 indefinitely.

Last year, he was only able to inform Bloomberg that the deal would only be saved temporarily.

Gary Millerchip, CFO at Costco, has since affirmed that the $1.50 price is secure.

Since the 1980s, the snack’s cost has remained constant.

However, officials acknowledged last year that the cost of membership had gone up.
