Costco Stops Carrying Coke Products

Wholesale Stores Quit Carrying Soft Drinks Due to Pricing Dispute

(AP)  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, Wash.-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."

Costco Wholesale Corp. operates about 560 warehouses in the U.S. and abroad.

Good, now if they would only eliminate Pepsico and Nestles from their market(s) maybe the kids could lose some weight.

I know of kids that don't know that you can drink water or real fruit juice.

No wonder obesity and diabetes is getting worse here in the USA.

Exactly. Sure couldn't be the parents fault.

Another victory for Pepsi in the Cola War's.
