I had to make a Costco run today for steaks and while I was there, wanted to see if they had any Kirkland’s Charcoal. I stopped in the general vicinity of where they keep it and spoke with one of their helpful and friendly workers. I asked him a few questions about the Kirkland Brand and why it was so hit and miss finding it in stock. He said they try to keep a fairly even inventory among all their stores, so one location doesn’t keep a lot more in stock than the others. He also mentioned to me that their Kirkland charcoal is a hot seller and it goes quick when they get some. We also expressed our mutual disappointment with Costco not carrying charcoal in the “offseason”. He said he uses the Kirkland brand himself and agreed with me that there’s no BBQ off-season in Houston. After a little more chit chat I asked him where the charcoal was. He walked me around the corner to big pallet of Kingsford Pro. I said, “Sorry but I was looking for the Kirkland brand.” He said they were out and didn’t have any. As another associate walked up he asked her if they had any, just to be sure. She said no, I’m sorry but we don’t have any.
Ok I thought, I’ll just get some Kingsford Pro then, it’s on sale anyway. I put a 2 bag pack in my cart, then I decided to look for myself to make sure they didn’t have any Kirkland’s. I walked back to an area where I’ve seen charcoal sold before.
LO AND BEHOLD I FOUND SOME!
Even though the Kingsford was on sale, I put my bags back and got the Kirkland’s Brand. I’ve been told they were out of stock on this stuff before. On another visit last year, after being told they were out, I did the same thing, walked to the main charcoal area and found me some Kirkland’s. Word of advice, if you’re looking for the Kirkland’s brand and an associate tells you they’re out, go look for yourself just to make sure. Also Stock Up on it while you can, you’ll never know when they’ll have more.
