Costco rotisserie chicken labels have remained at $4.80 dollars from 2009, thanks to the store’s commitment to keep its price stable despite inflation.

    to ask the chain store not to raise the price.

Costco’s net sales increased in the last year up to almost $50, million dollars, an increase over the same period of 2020, in which $08,000 millions of dollars in sales.
