Citing the economic recession, Costco has announced that it will begin accepting food stamps in its two New York City stores — one in Astoria, Queens, and the other in Sunset Park, Brooklyn — on a trial basis, starting next month. If the experimental program shows there is sufficient demand by food stamp users, and if it does not harm efficiency, the company said, it will begin accepting food stamps at all of its New York City stores, including a new one that is planned for East Harlem.
Costco had come under criticism recently for being one of the few large food retailers that refused to accept food stamps. Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s and Wal-Mart all accept food stamps.
