In May, the meal kit delivery service launched the service - offering its beef stir-fry and chicken tacos - at 17 West Coast Costco locations. The goal was to give customers a taste of what Blue Apron has to offer. Blue Apron has indefinitely stopped its pilot program with Costco, just a few months after it launched.
