New Costco product for $2.99 ??conquers customers in its food court
Costco launched a new dessert for $2.99 ??and customers already consider it one of the best products in the food court: better than their hot dog?
In a very competitive environment, Costco once again attracts the attention of its customers, but this time not for its giant combos or the famous $1.50 hot dog. A new seasonal dessert began to appear in some of the chain's food courts and quickly began to generate positive comments among those who have already managed to try it.
This is the new Strawberry Shortcake Sundae, an ice cream that combines soft strawberry-flavored cream, pieces of cake and strawberry topping. The dessert costs $2.99 and is already considered by some consumers to be one of the best recent launches from Costco's food court.
The chain usually maintains classic products for years, such as its pizza, the Chicken Bake or the hot dog and soda combo. However, ice cream flavors do change regularly and are often only available for a limited time.
Over the past few months, Costco has released options like the Double Chocolate Mint Ice Cream and the Caramel Churro Sundae. Both caused divided opinions among customers on social networks. But the new strawberry dessert seems to be getting a much more positive reception.
A specialized Instagram account called Costco hot finds, dedicated to sharing news and reviews of the store's products, praised the new ice cream.
“The best strawberry ice cream ever,” the social media account noted. “He is among the three best of all time.”
Although the Strawberry Shortcake Sundae is not yet available in all US locations, several customers have already started looking for it in their local stores after images of the dessert went viral online.
What do they currently sell in the Costco food court?
In addition to its desserts, Costco's food court remains one of the most popular spaces among customers for its affordable prices and large portions.
Currently, the menu includes items such as cheese pizza, pepperoni pizza, Chicken Bake, chicken salad and a hot turkey sandwich with provolone cheese.
For drinks and desserts, Costco also offers Caramel Cold Brew Coffee, Frozen Mocha, Strawberry Banana Smoothie, Chocolate Chip Cookie, Chocolate Ice Cream, and Strawberry Sundae.
The company usually modifies some flavors depending on the season and consumer demand.
