The popular free samples at Costco warehouse stores have been missing for more than year unless they are individually wrapped.
Richard Galanti, chief financial officer and executive vice president at Costco, said this week during the third-quarter earnings call that the samples are returning in phases starting in June, according to USA Today and CNN.
He also said Costco will bring back its food court seating as the nation continues to re-open and go back to “normal” amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
USA Today reported, “About 170 of Costco’s approximately 550 locations will bring back full sampling by the first week of June, with the rest of locations returning to full sampling by the end of June.”
CNN reported there will, however, be “increased safety protocols” such as “the samples being prepared behind plexiglass, made in smaller batches and distributed to customers one at a time. Costco eliminated food sampling in March 2020 during the onset of the pandemic.”
Galanti said indoor seating will return at most stores but the tables will be spaced farther apart.
USA Today reported the food court menu will be expanded to include improved churros and a “high-end soft ice cream to replace their frozen yogurt.”
Costco earlier this month revised its face mask policy for shoppers after the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced new guidance. Fully vaccinated shoppers are no longer required to wear masks in states or cities that are not under a face covering mandate.
