Overview

  • Costco is restoring early shopping hours for Executive members after discontinuing the benefit in recent years.
  • Starting June 30 at select locations, Executive members can access warehouses from 9 to 10 a.m. on weekdays and Sundays.
  • On Saturdays, the perk provides 30 minutes of exclusive shopping access from 9 to 9:30 a.m.
  • Executive members pay $130 annually—double the $65 Gold Star fee—and must spend $3,250 per year to earn enough 2% cash back to offset the upgrade.
  • CEO Ron Vachris said the company will review broader store-hour expansions after evaluating this early-access rollout alongside the success of extended gas station hours.
