Costco will be keeping the price of its signature hot dog and drink combination inexpensive for customers despite soaring inflationary pressures, although prices for other items at the store may increase.

Costco CFO Richard Galanti revealed the news during the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call on Sept. 22 after being asked whether the retailer would look at increasing the price of its famous combo to offset tightening margins owing to the cheap meal.
