With hundreds of millions of products sold, Costco’s 2023 fiscal year was as big as its warehouses, company officials told shareholders at its annual meeting Thursday.
The meeting, held virtually, was presided over for the first time by the new Chief Executive Ron Vachris. On Jan. 1, Vachris took the helm from the longtime CEO Craig Jelinek.
Vachris started his four-decade tenure at Costco as a forklift driver and had been the company’s president and chief operating officer until Jelinek stepped down.
In the meeting, Vachris told shareholders about the company’s fiscal year results, sharing the number of the iconic hot dog-and-soda combos sold, the number of Costco stores that opened and how many $4.99 rotisserie chickens the Issaquah-based company sold in the 2023 fiscal year, which ended Sept. 3.
Costco sold just under 200 million hot dog-and-soda combos. In the previous year, it sold 156 million.
