Bryan Grant+FollowCostco Early Hours: Worth the Upgrade?So, Costco just rolled out early shopping hours for their Executive Members—think VIP access to empty aisles and no checkout lines. But here’s the catch: if you’re not on the $130/year plan, you’ll be turned away at the door. Some folks loved the peace and quiet, but others found the store half-stocked and blocked off by pallets. If you hate crowds, it might be worth it—but don’t expect a fully prepped store! #Business #LocalBusiness #Costco30Share
Jordan Williams+FollowCostco Early Bird Gets the Chicken!Ever wish you could skip the weekend parking lot chaos at Costco and snag a fresh rotisserie chicken without the crowd? Starting next year, Costco’s giving Executive Members a one-hour head start on shopping. That means you can grab bakery treats and food court snacks before the rush—if you’re willing to pay extra for the upgrade. Regular members? You’ll have to wait your turn. It’s like fast-pass for bulk shopping! #Business #LocalBusiness #Costco40Share
Anthony Cook+FollowCostco’s early hours: Perk or problem?Costco’s new early opening for Executive Members is stirring up mixed feelings. While some enjoy the quiet aisles and easy parking, others are frustrated by stores not being fully stocked or ready, with pallets and caution tape blocking sections. Employees say they’re stretched thin, with no extra prep time or staff added for the earlier hours. Is this perk really worth the $130 annual fee if shopping feels like navigating a construction zone? For those who’ve tried the new hours, do the benefits outweigh the hassle, or does it just add more stress for everyone involved? #Business #LocalBusiness #Costco12Share
Nicole Washington+FollowCostco’s early hours perk isn’t all it seemsCostco’s new Executive Member early hours sound like a dream—empty aisles, no checkout lines, and first dibs on the food court. But some shoppers in Lawrence, NY, say the reality is less than perfect. When they arrived, the store was still restocking, with pallets blocking produce and empty meat cases. Staff seemed overwhelmed by confused customers who didn’t realize they needed the upgraded membership. Even employees say they’re scrambling to prep the store in time. Would you pay extra for early access if the store isn’t fully ready? Share your thoughts below! #Business #LocalBusiness #Costco00Share
christinewhite+FollowSalem’s giant Costco chicken is wildA 470-pound rotisserie chicken just rolled out at Salem’s Costco, and it’s honestly the most jaw-dropping thing to hit the deli aisle. Priced at just $4.99—yes, really—it’s big enough to feed your whole block (or a very hungry teen). The store even had to bring in forklifts and reinforce the floors! Locals are already lining up for selfies and carving slots at rec centers. Would you split this with your neighbors, or is this the ultimate party centerpiece? What’s next—turkeyzilla? #Business #LocalBusiness #Costco00Share
Timothy Weaver+FollowCostco’s Food Court Just Got a Soda Glow-UpCostco fans, rejoice! The food court is swapping out Pepsi for Coca-Cola, and people are loving it. If you’re grabbing a $1.50 hot dog combo, you’ll now get to choose from Coke, Diet Coke, or Coke Zero. This change is all about giving shoppers what they want—an online poll showed 87% prefer Coke. No word on price hikes, so your budget lunch is safe. Pepsi, better luck next time! #Business #LocalBusiness #Costco153Share
Bryan Grant+FollowCostco’s Hot Streak Cools: Should You Buy?Costco was the MVP of the shopping world last year, but 2025’s been a different story. The stock hit a high, but now it’s lost its spark—analysts are less excited, and even some top execs are cashing out. If you’re thinking about snagging some Costco shares, maybe wait for a better deal. Sometimes, even the best stores have off seasons! #Business #LocalBusiness #Costco10Share
Anthony Cook+FollowCostco Closed for Labor Day: Stock Up Early!Heads up, Costco fans! All 617 Costco stores across the U.S. will be closed for Labor Day, so if you’re planning a big BBQ or need your favorite bulk snacks, make sure to shop before September 1. This annual closure always sparks a last-minute shopping rush, so expect those aisles to be extra busy. While other big retailers are struggling, Costco’s still going strong—maybe it’s all those smoked ribs and cakes! #Business #LocalBusiness #Costco00Share
Jacob Morgan+FollowGolden Retriever twins steal the show at CostcoForget the usual Costco finds—shoppers were treated to a rare sight: two pairs of Golden Retrievers, each duo popping their heads out of car windows, greeting everyone with those signature grins. One pair flaunted deep red coats, the other creamy blonde, making it look like a golden mirror image. The scene quickly became the highlight of the day, with people sharing their own pup photos and stories online. It’s wild how a simple moment like this can bring strangers together and turn an ordinary parking lot into the happiest spot in town. Have you ever had a surprise dog encounter that made your day? #Pets #GoldenRetrievers #Costco8968Share
john72+FollowCostco Free Samples: No More Kid-Only Snack Runs?Heads up, Costco fans! The days of sending your kids off to snag free samples while you shop are over. Costco now requires an adult to be present for any underage snackers, all in the name of safety (think: food allergies). Some parents are bummed about the extra hassle, while others appreciate the caution. If you want to maximize your sample haul, hit the store on weekends around lunchtime. How will this change your Costco routine? #Business #LocalBusiness #Costco00Share
