I just wanted to find out the senior hours.
Hello, Paul! It is best to contact your local store for information about senior hours. Some stores are offering senior hours on particular days (such as Tuesdays and Thursdays), while others are reserving one hour for seniors each weekday morning. Enter your zip code in Costco’s warehouse finder; the phone number will appear under the store’s address. Have a safe shopping trip!
