If you're one of the many Costco members who always head to Costco whenever you need to top up your tank, it's time to get excited.

The Costco food court has always been a popular spot for shoppers to grab a quick bite, and the affordable prices are also appealing to members. Costco is also a common spot for members to fill up their cars with gas, especially because of the cheaper prices in comparison to most other gas stations in California.

Costco's extended gas station hours and new openings have resulted in record-breaking sales. The retailer reports increased member usage and satisfaction.

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.
