They finally agreed to bring back the full kosher section to the Union store. It has been a long and draining process but your persistence forced them to listen. Keep an eye on the shelves over the coming weeks to ensure they actually follow through on their promise.

Costco of Union has decided to remove the kosher section. We have been told that for the time being, they are still keeping some of these kosher items in stock, but they will be mixed in with other items. Other kosher items have been removed from their store. When approached, Costco of Union claimed that they are removing the section due to low demand.
We know that there is demand from the local community surrounding the Costco of Union, and, if they carried more relevant kosher items for the Kosher consumer -- fresh meat, chicken, and baked goods -- as they do in other Costco stores like those near Edison, Teaneck and the 5 Towns, we would shop there even more.
We are signing this petition demonstrate to Costco that there is demand, and to encourage Costco to not only reinstitute the kosher section, but to successfully broaden their selection to fill the needs of the modern Kosher consumer.

A hundred people have put their names behind this effort and I am feeling the weight of that responsibility. The silence from the store is draining but seeing this support keeps me going.

The exhaustion of fighting this battle is starting to set in but the numbers keep rising. We need a final surge to reach that first hundred mark so we can walk into the store with proof that they are ignoring their customers. Please take a moment to post this link to your social media circles so we can force them to listen.

If there was a kosher meat department as well as kosher bakery similar to what is available in the Staten Island Costco I would be in the Union Costco on a weekly basis if not more. I know this applies to many of my friends in the community that is near the Union Costco
It is important for Costco to re-consider their decision to discontinue stocking kosher foods. There are several large orthodox communities in the Union area and these constituents support those businesses that cater to their needs.
Please return a well-stocked kosher section to the Union Costco. I, and many others in our community, shop there constantly, and having a well-considered selection of kosher products would be of tremendous benefit to us. We would gladly provide input into the types of products that would be most popular.
I regret having to travel 30 minutes to the nearest Costco with kosher products. One of the reasons that our family chose Costco as opposed to Sam's or BJ's is for the kosher selection at Costco. Now we will have to reconsider renewing our membership at Costco.
We have already stopped shopping at your location due to lack of kosher food and have begun traveling to Livingston, Clifton, and Hackensack. As Linden residents, we would love to see you restore and enlarge your kosher section so we can return to shopping at Union.
I want to be a member but it's not worth it without the kosher bakery and meat. Please support kosher eaters.
Please bring back kosher food

I would do more shopping for kosher food items if the Union Costco had a greater selection. If kosher items are mixed in with other items, I won't spend the time looking for them and they will carry even less items. Maybe Sam's Club or B.J.'s may be more interested in serving those of us who keep kosher.
