Costco Begins Switch From Pepsi to Coca-Cola at Food Courts

UNITED STATES, JUL 22 – Costco is switching back to Coca-Cola to maintain the $1.50 hot dog-soda combo price, with a global rollout across 14 countries expected by fall 2025.

  • Costco began switching its food court beverage provider from Pepsi to Coca-Cola on June 30, 2025, across its locations in multiple countries.
  • The change follows Costco serving Pepsi products since 2013, with the switch aimed at preserving the $1.50 hot dog-soda combo price rather than pricing concerns.
  • New Coca-Cola fountain machines have started appearing in stores in 14 countries, with the transition expected to complete by fall 2025 and including popular Coca-Cola brands.
  • Costco CEO Rob Vachris said the company planned to "convert" back to Coca-Cola this summer while assuring the hot dog combo price remains $1.50, unchanged since the 1980s.
  • This switch coincides with other member benefits, including earlier shopping hours for U.S. Executive members who pay $130 annually and earn a 2% purchase reward.
