Major Change at Costco in Utah has Members Thrilled

Costco is the second biggest religion in Utah.

Families descend on the big beautiful warehouse at least once a week to be blessed by its bounty of muffins, dips, paper towels, fresh salmon, Kirkland signature peanut butter, frozen pizza, laundry detergent, bagged salad, rotisserie chicken, and clothes.

There are those who despise going to Costco and drag their feet and complain incessantly to their wives. There are others that relish the opportunity to get some pizza.

Either way this news is good for everybody.

"The retail giant revealed in a social media post that its gas stations will now operate extended hours. Drivers can fill up from Monday through Friday from 6am to 10 pm, Saturday from 6am to 8:30pm, and Sunday from 6am to 7:30pm." 

This is great. Costco gas is always cheaper than regular gas which is why people are lined up for hours just to get to the sweet sweet petrol.

People would wait months for a chance to save upwards of 67 cents. But it all adds up and we're all poor so let's not be mocking anybody. And while a lot of businesses are struggling, Costco continues to flourish.

"The company's U.S. sales have been on a tear as it looks to expand. The company reported a 6.6 percent increase in U.S. sales in the first quarter of 2025. Customers keep turning to the brand even though it raised membership prices in September 2024 for the first time in seven years." (LINK TO FULL ARTICLE)
