Costco Confirms Twisted Churros Are Coming Back to Food Courts Costco has confirmed that Twisted Churros are returning to its food courts for a limited time, with launch dates varying by location. KIRO Newsradio hosts and staff discussed the announcement, nostalgia for the snack, Costco delivery convenience, and whether shoppers still prefer the in-store food court experience. Costco has officially confirmed it will bring back Twisted Churros to its food courts for a limited time, according to KIRO Newsradio. The return of the sweet, cinnamon-sugar treat has already generated excitement among customers who see the food court as an important part of the warehouse-shopping experience. While the company has confirmed that the churros are coming back, KIRO reported that launch dates will vary by location, meaning shoppers in some markets may see the item before others. For Seattle-area radio personality Jake Skorheim, the announcement was more than a routine menu update. Speaking on KIRO Newsradio, he said the popular snack returning was about time.Skorheim recalled when Costco removed the churros from its food court menu and said he never understood why the company would take such a well-liked item away. The treat has become a familiar favorite for many Costco members, especially shoppers who stop in for groceries and leave with a sweet snack to finish the trip. The news also brought up another debate: Costco delivery.Fill-in host Greg Tomlin said he does not expect to be eating the churros soon, not because he dislikes them, but because Costco's home delivery service has made it easier for him to skip the store altogether. Tomlin noted that Costco delivery can be convenient, especially for people trying to avoid long aisles and crowded shopping trips.He said each item ordered online can cost about 5 to 10 percent more than the price found inside the store, but for many customers the convenience may be worth the extra cost. In his view, the delivery option saves time that might otherwise be spent driving, parking, walking through the warehouse, and waiting in line. KIRO producer Laura Scott also weighed in on the delivery trend.She said she introduced Skorheim's family to Costco delivery about a year ago and described it as both the best and worst thing ever. The reason was simple: delivery is so convenient that it can make it harder to visit the store in person. For shoppers who enjoy browsing, sampling products, and getting a full warehouse experience, that is part of the appeal. For others, the ability to have groceries brought to the door is a major advantage.Skorheim said he still prefers going into the store himself. That preference helps explain why the churro return has resonated with him. The food court is not just a place to buy a snack; for many regular customers, it is part of the ritual of a Costco visit. The return of the churros gives those customers another reason to walk the aisles, pick up groceries, and enjoy one of the food court's most recognizable items.The churro announcement also prompted Tomlin to share his thoughts on another Costco staple: the famous $1.50 hot dog and drink combo. He floated a theory that Costco may have changed the recipe for the hot dog in order to keep the price at $1.50. Tomlin said that, to him, the hot dog does not taste as good as it used to.Whether or not that theory is accurate, it shows how much attention Costco customers pay to the company's food court offerings and how strongly they react when prices, recipes, or menu items change. Overall, the return of Costco's Twisted Churros is being treated as a small but meaningful update for fans of the warehouse retailer's food court.The limited-time offering gives shoppers something sweet to look forward to, while the surrounding conversation highlights a bigger shift in how people buy Costco goods. Some customers still want the in-store experience, including the food court treat. Others are increasingly relying on delivery, even if it costs a little more, because it saves time and reduces the need to step inside the store
