After taking some time for stores to make the changes, Costco’s expanded hours for executive members should be in effect nationwide after the Labor Day weekend.
The retail warehouse giant announced additional shopping hours all week for executive members starting June 30 and an extra hour on Saturday evenings for all members starting July 5. But not all locations made the changes immediately.
A grace period from the company was due to end Aug. 31, according to business outlet TheStreet, and Costo locations were closed on Monday, Sept. 1, for Labor Day. USA TODAY reached out to Costco Aug. 31 to confirm the end of the grace period and did not receive an immediate response.
Earlier this year the company also expanded its gas station hours for all members to 6 a.m. Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Saturdays and 6 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Sundays. Over the last month, Costco also switched out the bneverages on sale in the warehouse food courts from Pepsi to Coca-Cola.
Here are the new shopping hours at Costco Warehouses for Executive Members.

In the email announcing the new hours, Costco also said that executive members would receive a a monthly $10 credit for orders of $150 placed through the company’s “Same-Day” service or Instacart.
Memberships are not required to buy Costco Pharmacy prescriptions online or in-store; non-members can get eye exams but can’t buy glasses or contacts.

The latest Florida Costco opened in The Villages in August and before that, another opened in Stuart in April.
A new location is rumored to be coming to Sanford, although the company has not confirmed it, talks are in the works for more potential spots, including Port St. Lucie, Pensacola and Miami.
