Attentions Utah Costco fans: If you're one that proudly flashes that sleek black Executive Membership like it's a platinum AmEx, you're about the get EVEN FANCIER! Starting June 30, the game is changing! Costco will be letting Executive Members shop an hour earlier than the rest of those mere mortals! Yeah, the big-box paradise who has the best deal in town ($1.50 hot dog combo!) is going to opening early exclusively for Executive members. Here's how it works:

Have you ever tried to hit up the St. George Costco on a Saturday afternoon?! It's like being thrown into a cage match over rotisserie chicken and parking spots! But, these new hours could mean much smaller crowds, way better parking, and even a chance to grab a hotdog without catching a shopping cart to the achilles!

This perk is exclusive to Executive Members, who already earn 2% back annually on qualified purchases, plus access to discounts on services and that coveted free household card. It costs $130/year—but if you’re shopping like most Utah families (Massive Costco pizzas on a weekly rotation), you’ll likely make that money back in rewards and sanity.

It's time to set those alarms, and get into Costco early and maybe have yourself a 9:00 a.m. hotdog and hot fudge sundae! I won't judge you, as a fellow Executive Member!
