Costco is changing its hours for some members. Will it affect hours in WA?
Early morning shopping runs are about to get a lot easier for some Costco members.
Starting June 30, the retailer is opening early for customers with an “Executive” membership, the higher and pricier of Costco’s two membership tiers.
New Costco hours for Executive members
Stores will open at 9 a.m. daily, with only Executive members being able to access the store from opening until 10 a.m. Sunday through Friday, according to a post on the company’s Instagram account. On Saturdays, the Executive-only access will run from 9 to 9:30 a.m.
All other members will be able to access the store starting at 10 a.m. Sunday through Friday and at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday.
What is a Costco Executive membership?
Costco offers two membership options: the standard “Gold Star” membership and the premium-tier Executive membership.
A standard membership costs $65 a year and gets you access to the store as well as Costco’s online shopping option.
Executive memberships cost $130 a year and get members access to discounts on certain Costco services as well as 2% rewards on Costco purchases.
