Costco Returns Free Food Tasting: When and What to Try

Costco is bringing back one of its most in-demand pre-pandemic items: food samples. This is reported by CNN.

The warehouse chain announced that it is "starting a phased return to full sample sets" in early June after a 14-month hiatus.

Approximately 170 US outlets will bring food samples in the first week of June, and "most of the remaining outlets" will return them by the end of June, Costco CFO Richard Galanti said during a May 27 phone call.

Due to Covid-19, there will be some changes in the way food is distributed. Galanti said they have implemented "high security protocols": samples are prepared over Plexiglass, produced in small batches, and distributed to customers one at a time. Costco ended food tasting in March 2020 during the outbreak of the pandemic.

Fans of the Costco food court will notice some changes, including in the seating arrangement.

Some stores will have outdoor food courts, and starting in June, most of the 560 U.S. stores will return to indoor seating with "greater physical separation." There will be four seats at the tables instead of six or eight, and “there will be half as much seating as there was before,” Galanti said.

As for other food court changes, Costco is also adding new and improved churros to the menu, which will be available by July 4th. Frozen yogurt will also be replaced with new ice cream this summer.

Galanti noted that Costco's food court business has not yet fully recovered to 2019 levels and "it will probably take a few more months." In recent months, Costco has reopened its so-called "secret weapon" and expanded its menu.

Costco also closed food court lounges in March 2020 when the pandemic hit and cut the menu to take-out hot dogs and pizzas. The company doesn't run sales at food courts, but these locations are one of the perks that help convince shoppers to pay $ 60 or $ 120 for a Costco membership each year.
