Who makes Kirkland Signature Alkaline Batteries (AA / AAA)?

LIKELY

Duracell

maker (per Costco's then-CEO, 2016) · as of 2016

Sold by Costco under its Kirkland Signature label.

Costco's then-CEO Craig Jelinek told Atlanta station WSB-TV in 2016 that Duracell makes them, as later reported by BGR. That is a company statement, not a record, and it is a decade old. We could not open the original WSB-TV page from outside the US.
