Financial director Gary Millerchip declared during the call for results of the second quarter of Costco in March that the company had “introduced a new smoothie with strawberries”. He became available at the start of this month, according to a Facebook publication by Costco.

Provolone sandwich in Türkiye

The warehouse retailer reintroduces the “Provolone Sandwich of Türkiye, preferred by fans” in the third quarter, also told Millerchip to analysts and investors at the time. The dish, served hot, has been out of the menu for several years.

Coca-Cola products

Costco plans to “convert our affairs from the Coca-Cola catering fountain” This summer, said CEO Ron Vachris at the company’s shareholders’ meeting. When this switch occurs, it will mark a major change for Costco catering shorts, which have offered Pepsi products since 2013.

In the second quarter, Costco catering shorts and the pharmacy “paved the way” to its auxiliary companies, according to Millerchip.
