Need a 2025-2026 Costco run? Here’s the latest schedule and what it means for your shopping list. Costco holiday hours at a glance • Wednesday, Dec 31 ( New Year’s Eve ): 9 a.m.–6 p.m. • Thursday, Jan 1 ( New Year’s Day ): CLOSED • Friday, Jan 2: stores reopen on their normal schedule What time does your local Costco usually open and close? Most U.S. warehouses operate 10 a.m.–8:30 p.m. Monday-Friday, 9:30 a.m.–6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m.–6 p.m. Sunday, but hours can shift by location and season. Always plug your ZIP code into the Costco Store Locator or the Costco app before heading out to avoid an empty parking lot. Why Costco is closing for New Year’s Day Costco shuts its doors on seven major holidays—including Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day—to give employees time off and complete inventory resets. The early New Year’s Eve closing lets workers ring in the holiday with family while still giving members a full day to grab party trays, champagne and January 1 breakfast staples. Beat the rush with these pro warehouse-club tips • Arrive before 11 a.m. on Dec 31 for the lightest crowds; sales spikes begin after lunch. • Stock up on freezer-friendly appetizers and paper products—both sell out fastest during the final hours of operation. • Gas stations follow the same in-store holiday schedule, so plan your fill-up before 6 p.m. on New Year’s Eve. • If you just need last-minute groceries on Jan 1, partner stores such as Walmart and Target will be open normal hours, while Sam’s Club mirrors the Costco closure. Next big closure on the calendar After January, Costco’s next nationwide shutdown is Easter Sunday (April 5 in 2026). Pencil it in now so you’re not caught short on your bulk brunch supplies. Bottom line Costco is your go-to for ringing in 2026, but only until 6 p.m. on New Year’s Eve. Check local hours online, shop early and enjoy a stress-free celebration knowing exactly when those famous warehouse doors open again.
