Costco locations begin to make the switch from Pepsi to Coca-Cola at food courts

Costco's switch from Pepsi to Coca-Cola drinks at its food courts is underway. The change at Costco's food courts 'began rolling out across all Costco warehouses' at the beginning of July, The Coca-Cola Company said in a statement to FOX Business. Advertisement All of Costco's food courts will offer Coca-Cola products by the fall. It comes at a time when President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that Coca-Cola was going to switch to using cane sugar as a sweetener instead of high-fructose corn syrup. Coca-Cola has neither confirmed nor denied Trump's claim. However, it has thrust the drink maker into a brighter spotlight despite its market dominance. Advertisement The warehouse retailer's change to Coca-Cola beverages may not come as a surprise to members considering Costco CEO Ron Vachris said in January the company would be 'converting our food court fountain business back over to Coca-Cola' this summer. It nonetheless marks a big change for Costco food courts, which had offered Pepsi products since 2013. 'Costco insiders and Coca-Cola fans are buzzing about the transition, which will span warehouses in 14 countries, allowing Costco members everywhere to once again enjoy their favorite Coca-Cola beverages alongside Costco's beloved food court offerings,' Coca-Cola told FOX Business. 3 Costco's food courts have started switching from Pepsi to Coca-Cola. AP Advertisement 3 The rollout of Coke products began in early July. Christopher Sadowski Some social media users have posted photos of Costco food courts to Reddit with a Coca-Cola cup visible in the signage for its popular hot dog and soda combo in recent days. Food courts are one of the many ancillary businesses Costco offers at warehouses along with gas stations, optical departments, hearing aids and tire installation. Costco has said its ancillary businesses encourage members to make trips to the warehouse retailer more often.

In August, seven Costco openings are planned, with warehouses launching in Canada, Mexico and the US, according to a page on the retailer's website.

Footage of the pair attempting to hide after noticing they were on the kiss cam went viral on social media with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin commenting: "Either they're having an affair, or they're just very shy." Following the incident Bryon's wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, changed her last name on Facebook before deactivating her account.

Leading Contenders To Replace Jerome Powell as Fed Chair

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Kevin Warsh is the favorite to be the next chair of the Federal Reserve if President Donald Trump appoints a successor to Jerome Powell before the end of 2025, according to a leading bookmaker. Newsweek contacted the Federal Reserve for comment on Saturday via online inquiry form outside regular office hours. The Context Over the past few months, Trump has been sharply critical of Powell, whom he appointed during his first term, over the chair's refusal to slash interest rates. In June, the president said Powell was costing the United States "a fortune" and demanded that rates be reduced by a "full point." On Wednesday, Trump was asked whether he planned to fire Powell following media reports that he had been sounding out Republican politicians about the possibility. The president replied, "I don't rule out anything, but it's highly unlikely [that I'll fire him]—unless he has to leave for fraud." Powell's term is due to end in early 2026. What To Know On Friday, Star Sports offered odds of 2/1 (33.3 percent) on Warsh, who served on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors from 2006 to 2011, being appointed by Trump as the new Fed chair by the end of 2025, assuming a new chair is appointed. National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett followed with 9/4 (30.8 percent); then Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent with 3/1 (25 percent); and Chris Waller, who sits on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, with 8/1 (11.1 percent). Star Sports said that if Trump did not appoint a new Federal Reserve chair by December 31, the market would "resolve to void." Trump has spent months calling for Powell to lower interest rates, a move supporters believe would kick-start the economy with cheaper borrowing but that critics say would fuel inflation.

Bonnie Cash/GETTY The Federal Reserve rate is 4.5 percent, down from 5.5 percent a year ago. On his Truth Social website in June, Trump shared a handwritten note he had sent Powell, in which he said: "You have cost the USA a fortune and continue to do so. You should lower that rate by a lot! Hundreds of billions of dollars are being lost!" Speaking in February, Trump described Powell as a "numbskull" and said he was "making it difficult for people, especially the young, to buy a house." He added that Powell was "truly one of my worst appointments." Referring to former President Joe Biden, he added, "Sleepy Joe saw how bad he was and reappointed him anyway." What People Are Saying Star Sports political betting analyst William Kedjanyi told Newsweek: "Donald Trump has been harassing Jerome Powell, chair of the Federal Reserve, for months and months over interest rates. Trump wants Powell pushed out, despite the fact that Trump appointed him, and even if he does manage to survive, Powell's term ends in 10 months. "Warsh is our 2/1 front-runner—a Wall Street favorite who knows the system well from his years serving under George W. Bush and Barack Obama, who has also received the backing of Fox News journalist Maria Bartiromo, whom Trump respects. "It's pretty clear that whoever Trump appoints, they are going to be on board with lower interest rates. With that in mind, Hassett is our 9/4 second favorite, with Hassett receiving a number of positive mentions in the media recently. Hassett is very close to Trump and has worked with the president during both of his terms—the only worry may be if Wall Street views that as a threat to central bank independence." What Happens Next It remains to be seen whether Trump will fire Powell this year or wait until his term ends in 2026. Either way, Powell's replacement could have a significant effect on financial markets.
