Costco is changing store hours across California. Who gets early shopping access?
Are you an early bird? Popular big-box retailer Costco Wholesale is expanding its hours for certain shoppers.
Customers with Executive status — Costco’s highest level of membership — will receive exclusive time inside warehouse stores across California starting Monday, June 30, the retailer announced in a June 11 Instagram post.
They’ll also have access to Costco’s food court and pharmacy during these revised hours.
Here’s what to know:
When are Costco stores open? How are hours changing?
Opening hours for Costco stores vary by location, with some locations opening their doors at 9 a.m. or 10 a.m. depending on the day.
Starting Monday, U.S. customers with Costco Executive memberships will have extra time to shop all week long.
Those shoppers will have stores to themselves from 9 to 10 a.m. Monday through Friday, 9 to 9:30 a.m. Saturday and 9 to 10 a.m. Sunday, the retailer said.
Costco stores will open to other shoppers after that, the retailer said.
“All members will be welcome to shop starting at 10 a.m. Monday through Friday and Sunday, and at 9:30 a.m. Saturday,” Costco said in a response to a comment on its Instagram post.
