Warehouse retailer Costco plans to open over two dozen new locations during fiscal 2025, with 10 slated to launch in the fourth quarter.

Costco's biggest spenders will soon be getting more bang for their buck. Three months after the retailer extended hours at its North American gas stations, Costco has announced that shoppers who pay for its $130 Executive Membership will be able to enjoy early access to its warehouses.

Costco stores typically open at 10 a.m. on weekdays and Sundays, and at 9:30 a.m. on Saturdays. Once the new policy goes into effect, Costco Executive Members will be able to enter stores and shop as early as 9 a.m. each day, giving them an extra hour of private shopping on weekdays and Sundays.

Costco is thanking some of its customers for their loyalty with a new perk. Unfortunately, the perk will not apply to all customers, but only customers who pay for the highest-level membership.
