A Big Change May Be Coming to the Costco Food Court (Which Team Are You On?)
Rumor has it that the Costco food court may have a big change coming! Here’s the scoop!
The Coke vs. Pepsi debate is about to reignite 🔥, and Pepsi fans, you better hold onto your hats!
According to a recent video on Instagram, Costco may be preparing to replace all food court Pepsi machines with Coca-Cola products instead. So far, no official announcement has been made and this news is just rumblings on the internet.
If Costco is truly signing contracts, the company that submits the lowest bid usually wins and is granted exclusive distribution.
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 combo along with other cheap food court eats.
We know many in the Hip community are HUGE fans of Costco and we have no doubt some of you may have strong opinions on the possible change in beverage companies.
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 combo or the $1.99 giant slice of pizza, you’ll have to fork over cash for a Costco membership. 💵

Cocoa cola pleeeeeese!
Yay! Love it.
Let’s face it. Pepsi products are just dirty water. Coca Cola all the way, baby!
Coke!
DIET COKE and a hot dog!!! Woo Hoo!!!
Pepsi
Yeah……Coke all the way!!
Used to drink sodas a lot but today, not so much. Coke hands down is better tasting than Pepsi.
I hope so. I’ll finally be able to order a hotdog and Diet Coke!
Yay!!!
I’m in the Coke camp! I hope they have Coke Zero!
Finally!!! I was so sad when they went to Pepsi products. It’s Coke’s turn again.
Yay! I stopped getting drinks there when they switched to Pepsi, so I’m hoping this is true
It’s about time!!!
Noooo!!!
We always ditch the cup… nobody in our family really likes soda BUT with the size of the hotdog and toppings we still feel like the price is fair without the drink.
