Costco’s CEO announced that the company is bringing back Coca-Cola products, replacing Pepsi. For decades, Coke was a centerpiece at Costco food courts, but the company switched to Pepsi in 2013. You can expect to see Coke fountain drinks at Costco beginning this summer.
Costco CEO Ron Vachris confirmed the return to Coke at the company's annual shareholder meeting earlier this week.

Costco announced it will switch from Pepsi products at its food court, according to reporting from USA Today, impacting 17 warehouses in Michigan.
