Chompie's challah bread now sold at all Costco stores across Arizona

Chompie’s customers can now find a menu favorite across Arizona.

The Jewish deli announced its new Jerusalem Challah Bread is available at Costco's 17 stores statewide. It sells for $4.49 per loaf.

“We are so excited and thankful," Neal Borenstein, owner of the family-run, Valley-based chain, said in a statement. "This is our first time offering a food product in Costco, and we are confident that Arizonans will love the ease of being able to pick up their favorite bread while doing their routine shopping.”

A variety of breads from Chompie’s already can be found at grocery stores across the Valley, including Fry’s, Bashas' and AJ’s Fine Foods. For now, Costco will only carry the plain challah bread, but Chompie’s carries a traditional seeded challah bread at its five restaurants in metro Phoenix.

What inspired the new Jerusalem Challah Bread? A family trip to Israel this year, where the braided challah is quite popular, especially in outdoor markets.

The timing coincides with the beginning of the High Holidays. Chompie’s is among several local Jewish delis and bakeries that are offering traditional holiday menus.

Founded in 1979, Chompie’s is a New York-style delicatessen, restaurant, bagel factory, bakery and caterer.
