Costco Rolls Out Coca-Cola to Food Courts Nationwide

Costco is officially replacing Pepsi with Coca-Cola at food court soda fountains nationwide—so no, your Costco store now serving Coca-Cola isn’t an outlier—it’s part of a broad, confirmed rollout that’s happening right now

This long-anticipated return marks the end of a 12-year partnership with Pepsi, and frankly, it’s a win for Coke fans everywhere.

What We Know

• Costco began phasing in Coca-Cola products in early July 2025, with the full transition expected by this fall across all U.S. locations—and reportedly in 14 countries.
• Costco CEO Ron Vachris confirmed the change in January 2025, stating the company would be “converting our food court fountain business back over to Coca-Cola.”
• The price of fountain sodas appears to have climbed—from $0.69 with Pepsi to $0.79 with Coke

Coke Soda Fountains Headed To Your Local Costco Store

For most Costco members, this shift marks the end of an era.

Pepsi has been the soda partner at food courts since 2013, and many shoppers grew accustomed to grabbing a Mountain Dew or a Pepsi with their $1.50 hot dog combo.

But nostalgia aside, the return of Coca-Cola taps into something deeper: familiarity.

For decades before the Pepsi switch, Coke was the Costco soda, and many long-time members say it “just feels right” to have it back.

On social media, the reaction has been split. Some Pepsi fans are disappointed, while others admit they’ll miss certain options like Sierra Mist or Mountain Dew.

But the majority response has leaned positive—especially from Coke loyalists who have been waiting more than a decade for this exact change.

For Costco, this isn’t just about preference—it’s about consistency.

Coke is the world’s most recognizable soda brand, and bringing it back reinforces the food court’s reputation for comfort, tradition, and familiarity. Pairing an ice-cold Coke with a hot dog or pizza slice feels iconic again.

At your store, the excitement comes with one small catch: the fountain soda price has inched up from $0.69 with Pepsi to $0.79 with Coke.

It’s a minor increase, but worth noting since the food court has long been celebrated for low, stable pricing.

Final Thoughts

For Coke enthusiasts, this transition is a small victory—and a nostalgic nod to the days before 2013.

But the $0.10 price increase on sodas serves as a subtle reminder that even beloved upgrades come at a cost.

As the rollout continues to completion by fall, this shift is proving to be both refreshing—and worth a second look at your receipt.
