Exciting news from California icon McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams! In a first for the 78-year-old, family-owned brand, McConnell’s is bringing its premium, small-batch ice cream to select Costco stores in a brand-new format: half-pints.

McConnell’s first-ever half-pint portions will be sold in four-pack bundles, debuting this month at select Southern California Costco locations. Each Costco-exclusive pack features four 8 oz cups across two fan-favorite flavors: Chocolate Covered Strawberries and Sea Salt Cookies & Cream, retailing at $14.49.

The new format marks an exciting milestone for the heritage brand, offering curious shoppers a more accessible way to discover super-premium ice cream without committing to a full-size pint. The individually portioned cups also open the door to new grab-and-go occasions, driving incremental volume and expanding how consumers enjoy McConnell’s without cannibalizing its existing formats.

After nearly 8 decades of scooping, this launch marks an exciting milestone for the beloved heritage brand, and brings its signature quality and craft ice cream to a new set of value shoppers and all new occasions.
