Costco Pulls Coke From Stores In Price Fight

[Cameray_IHB]

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Costco says it is no longer carrying Coca-Cola products in its stores nationwide due to a pricing dispute with the beverage maker.

The Issaquah, Washington based wholesale club operator would not discuss the matter further. But a Costco executive confirmed Monday that the company is no longer carrying products from the world's largest soft drink maker.

Atlanta-based Coca-Cola Co. says it won't comment on on-going negotiations but said Costco is an important customer that it is committed to working with "in a spirit of fairness."

Coca-Cola in Costco was too expensive. Even Vons/Ralphs had usually better deal.

What Costco should do: introduce a Kirkland Cola brand.

Is the food court soda affected?

I don't know if another Coke knockoff is such a good idea.... I don't like Pepsi.

So long as they don't take my Mexican Coca Cola I'm good (comes from an importer, not the local distributor).
