(Issaquah, WA) -- Inflation appears to be hitting the Costco food court.
Business Insider reports the warehouse store will be raising the price of two popular items. The chicken bake will go from costing two-99 to three-99 and soda will jump from 59 cents to 69 cents. The famous hot dog and soda combo will remain at a dollar-50, the price it's been since being added to the menu in 1985.
On an earnings call in May, a senior vice president for the company said Costco has no plans to raise the price of the hot dog combo. The price hikes come as inflation has caused the price of food to increase just under 12-percent compared to a year ago.
