WinCo, a popular retail chain, has agreed to pay $3.6 million to settle a class-action lawsuit related to hidden surcharges on certain non-grocery goods. The lawsuit accused the company of engaging in unlawful trade practices and unlawful enrichment by not disclosing the true cost of the goods it sold.
The settlement was reached during mediation before Oregon Senior Judge Henry Kantor. This development comes after Safeway’s $8.8 million payout to settle a similar case.
The class-action suit alleged that WinCo misled thousands of customers into paying hidden surcharges on specific non-grocery items. The company has now agreed to the multimillion-dollar settlement to resolve the claims.
