Costco loses money on every $1.50 hot dog combo it sells. The company moves more than 150 million of them every year, and the losses are intentional.
The new $6.99 baked chicken strips testing in six Chicago warehouses follow the same logic. Costco’s food court exists to keep members renewing their $65 yearly fee.
Last year, Costco made $8.1 billion in profit. About $5.3 billion of that came straight from membership fees. The company caps its markup at 14 to 15 percent above cost, while most retailers mark up between 25 and 50 percent. The warehouse itself barely contributes to the bottom line.
That is why the Combo Pizza disappeared in 2020 after customers kept asking for too many custom orders, slowing the one pizza station to a crawl. It is why the Combo Calzone that replaced it, only brought back in July 2025, just got pulled again after complaints about messy filling and overcooked dough. A Costco worker at the Chicago test site told a food blogger that the strips come out of the bag frozen and go straight into the oven, which means the food court can serve them without prep work or customization, the same issues that killed both earlier menu items.
The 1,640 calorie figure on the menu got most of the social media reaction. For comparison, Chick-fil-A’s four-piece strips, which are deep-fried in oil, come in at 410 calories. Somehow Costco’s five baked strips carry four times the calories of four fried Chick-fil-A strips, almost entirely from a thick crust breading and a heavy honey mustard dipping sauce. Canadian warehouses sell four of the same strips with fries for $6.99 in Canadian dollars, roughly $5 American.
The chicken strips will stay or get pulled depending on whether they protect the 92.3 percent U.S. renewal rate. That number decides whether Costco’s $5.3 billion in member fees holds up next year.
