Overview

• Since mid-February, Costco’s U.S. fuel pumps have run from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Saturdays and 6 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Sundays, with some California and Hawaii locations varying their schedules.
• CEO Ron Vachris said a combination of longer hours, new station openings and lower pump prices delivered two of Costco’s all-time highest weekly gallon volumes in April.
• Members report significantly shorter wait times at remodeled stations that feature additional pumps and expanded layouts.
• Costco has also increased the number of diesel depots at warehouse locations, providing exclusive fueling options for members and Shop Card customers.
• Fuel sales now represent roughly 12% of Costco’s total revenue, underscoring the role of low prices in driving membership value.
