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.
