Costco announced that it will be ending its special senior hours on July 26.

The wholesaler started offering special shopping times in the morning for members 60 and up and those with disabilities at the beginning of the pandemic.

This is one of the latest changes the store has made after bringing back free samples at the end of May and raising their minimum wage to $16, outpacing its competitors.
