After a grace period, discount retail behemoth Costco’s “shop early” policy for Executive Members took effect on Sept. 1, granting them exclusive access before regular store hours.

For $130 per year, executive members can take advantage of exclusive access to stores from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. on weekdays and Sundays, and from 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. on Saturdays. Store hours for other membership holders begin at 10 a.m. weekdays and Sundays, and 9:30 a.m. on Saturdays.
