Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

My favorite part about shopping at Costco is getting myself an ice cream and a hot dog when I’m done. But if you’re a vegan, you can’t enjoy one of their famous hot dogs which is why over 2,000 people have signed a petition for the retail giant to add a vegan hot dog to its menu.

According to Business Insider, the Change.org petition was created by Scott Hildebrand, said he wanted a plant-based option that he and his family could eat when they visit the store. And it turns out that thousands of people agree with him.

“Our family, like countless others, are regulars at Costco. I’d love to see them extend plant-based options to the food court, so we can enjoy veggie hot dogs after a Sunday shopping trip,” he told Business Insider.

It may sound a little out there for Costco to add a vegan hot dog to its menu, but they recently added items like a meatless burger and an acai bowl to its food court menu.

Even IKEA has decided to get in on the meatless trend and will have a vegan option of their popular meatballs in 2020.

It’s unknown at this time if the petition has been successful, but we would definitely give one a try!
