Starting Friday, Costco will allow no more than two people to enter any of its warehouses with each membership card.

“This temporary change is for your safety and the safety of our employees and other members, and to further assist with our social distancing efforts,” the company’s website states.

Other measures include new weekday 6:30 p.m. closing hours for many locations. Warehouses also will open from 8 to 9 a.m. Tuesdays through Thursdays for members ages 60 and older and those with physical impairments.

It’s recommended that customers check their specific location for hours and guidelines ahead of time.

run to the Grocery couple hours ago. They were limiting like ten people at a time into the store. Line up of people waiting was about a block long. First of the month and EBT cards are filled and guess what,people need Groceries. This is a open late store,so will run back after 9 pm.
