Nature is healing: Free samples will soon return to the aisles of Costcos across the nation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The reinstatement of pro bono<\/em> noshing and \u201creturn to full sampling\u201d will be phased in starting early next month and continue through the end of June, Costco Chief Financial Officer Richard Galanti said in an earnings call Thursday, CNN reported<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The complimentary nibbles have been unavailable to customers for 14 months after the company put the program on hiatus in March 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

App<\/a>roximately 170 US Costco branches will have the beloved hallway tastings back next week, with \u201cmost of the remaining locations\u201d before July.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIncreased safety protocols\u201d will be put into place, including samples prepared in smaller batches and behind plexiglass, then given to customers one at a time, Galanti said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The beginning of next month will also see the return of indoor seating to a majority of Costco\u2019s 560 locations in the US, although there will be \u201cmore physical separation\u201d between seating, with tables cut from either six or eight seats down to four. That means the food courts will have \u201chalf the seating capacity as we had before,\u201d Galanti said. Some branches will get outdoor seating.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Customers also can look forward to new churro menus beginning July 4, plus ice cream taking the place of frozen yogurt for the summer months. <\/p>\n

Costco\u2019s food courts have famously offered hot dogs, pizza and other bites that are treasured by shoppers, who pay $60 to $120 annually for their Costco membership. Galanti noted that food courts would probably need \u201canother several months\u201d to bounce back to 2019 sales levels.\u00a0\n <\/p><\/div>\n
