The company says it won t increase the $4.99 rotisserie chicken price.
The rotisserie chicken is sold at a loss to draw in customers.
Costco s famous $4.99 rotisserie chickens are getting more expensive for the store to stock, according to Chief Financial Officer Rich Galanti.
Inflation and rising costs are making nearly everything more expensive for consumers, from meat and cheese to electronics. Big box stores like Costco aren t immune to these higher costs, some of which may be passed on to customers, Insider s Áine Caine reported.
Costco is under inflationary pressures, Galanti said in an earnings call, including higher labor costs, higher freight costs, higher transportation demand, along with the container shortage and port delays, along with widespread shortages.
