Costco lovers, heads up! If you’re an Executive member—or thinking of becoming one—you’ve got a real perk with the new store hours policy coming June 30. Not only could it mean quieter aisles and early deals, but it may also impact your shopping routine—and even staffing. This article walks you through who’s affected, how, and what questions to ask to get the most from your membership. Ready to set your alarm? Let’s break it all down.
Executive Members Get Exclusive Early Access
Starting June 30, only Executive members can enter Costco warehouses at 9 a.m., an hour before other members. This special hour runs daily—including Sundays—and all other members can start shopping at 10 a.m., except Saturdays, when doors open at 9:30 a.m. It’s a nod to early-bird shoppers and a push to reward loyalty after last year’s membership price bump. For Executive members, it means less crowding and first dibs on hot items before the lines form.
