PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- Costco says it is no longer carrying
Coca-Cola products in its stores nationwide due to a pricing
dispute with the beverage maker.
The Issaquah, Wash.-based wholesale club operator would not
discuss the matter further. But a Costco executive confirmed Monday that the company is no longer carrying products from the world's largest soft drink maker.
Atlanta-based Coca-Cola Co. says it won't comment on on-going
negotiations but said Costco is an important customer that it is
committed to working with "in a spirit of fairness."
Costco Wholesale Corp. operates about 560 warehouses in the U.S. and abroad.
