Retiring Costco exec shares update on $1.50 hotdog combo amid inflation concerns CostcoRetiring Costco CFO, Richard Galanti has offered concerned shoppers an update on the retail company\u2019s $1.50 hotdog combo amid inflation concerns. American multinational corporation Costco has long been popular with shoppers, offering its members products at a low price that are hard to beat. A favorite amongst buyers has long been the Costco hotdog and drink combo. Found in the food court for only $1.50, the price has not been upped since its introduction in 1984. However, inflation concerns have left many worried about the combo\u2019s future and whether or not its price tag will remain the same. Now, retiring Costco CFO Richard Galanti has offered an update on what\u2019s to come. The 67-year-old has been an executive at Costco for nearly 40 years, becoming the chief financial officer in 1985 \u2014 just one year after the public was introduced to Costco\u2019s hot dog combo. Stepping down on March 15, Galanti\u2019s successor will be Gary Millerchip, the former CFO of Kroger. Despite this major change, Galanti revealed buyers\u2019 concerns surrounding their favorite meal are unlikely to come to fruition anytime soon. Speaking to Bloomberg, Galanti said that the beloved hot dog combo \u201cis probably safe for a while\u201d \u2014 news that will likely be music to many shopper\u2019s ears. \u201cThe underlying culture of the company hasn\u2019t changed,\u201d Galanti said, speaking on how the company has changed since its inception. \u201cIt is what the founders wrote, the five things that you\u2019re going to do, in this order: Obey the law, take care of your customers, take care of your employees, respect your suppliers \u2014 be tough, but fair. Then, reward your shareholders.\u201d It looks like Costco\u2019s customers will be able to rest easy knowing they\u2019re wallets wont be left emptied when ordering a hot dog and soda combo in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
