From today, Costco is rolling out a new schedule that introduces exclusive hours for its executive members.
The schedule was announced for the first time In an e -mail sent to members earlier this month, in which the Big-Box Warehouse Club described its plans to adjust its hours of operations to add a number of attractive new benefits for the best paying members. The plan is on the heels of a strong financial quarter for Costco: per Third quarter 2025 Winstr reportThe company achieved 8% on an annual basis for a turnover gains, from $ 57.39 billion last year to $ 61.96 billion this year.
This is what to know about the updated schedule:
How do hours and membership components change?
Previously, the hours of Costco were at most locations on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., on Saturdays from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Today, the company introduces an earlier start every day that is only available for its executive level. During the week, Costco is now open to performing members at 9 a.m., making those card holders an extra hour of shopping from Sunday to Friday an extra hour of shopping, as well as 30 added minutes on Saturday. In addition, Costco executive members offers a monthly $ 10 credit for orders of $ 150 placed via the “some day” service or Instacart of the company.
In addition to this range of executive layers, Costco is also planning to expand its Saturday hours to a closing time of 7 pm for all members who will be from July 5 from July 5.
Why does Costco make these changes?
To shop at Costco, customers must buy one of the two membership plans: the standard Gold Star membership, which costs $ 65 per year, or the executive membership, which costs $ 130 per year.
In the past, Costco has mainly attracted its most loyal shoppers to the more expensive executive membership with an annual reward of 2% on qualified purchases that can yield a maximum of $ 1,250 in cash per year. But now the company tries to live up to the deal with an exclusive shopping experience – a strategy that is already present at Sam’s Club, the most important rival of the retailer.
Costco’s approval of the concept is logical, given how central executive members have become for general financial health. During a profit call of 29 May, Gary MillerChip, Costco’s Executive Vice President and CFO, shared that the company now has 37.6 million executive members, an increase of 9% compared to the same quarter in 2024. He also noted that at the end of the third quarter of the third quarter of the paid one of the paid 7.3 was granted, the paid -to -197.3 -3.3ping was granted. Worldwide sale. Early access to the club’s inventory (and its popular Food Court) is a way for Costco to have his biggest expenses come back for more.
