Costco confirmed that it will close all of its locations across the United States on April 5 in observance of Easter Sunday.
Costco will close all U.S. locations on April 5: Here’s why the 24-hour shutdown is happening
The popular warehouse chain will not open its stores on Sunday, April 5, as it observes Easter, one of the holidays included in its annual schedule. During certain holidays, supermarkets and other businesses close and give employees the day off, so customers are encouraged to plan their shopping in advance. Unlike many of its competitors, Costco observes more holidays throughout the year.
When will Costco reopen?
Customers can prepare ahead for Easter celebrations, since all locations nationwide will be closed on April 5. However, the closure will be brief. All stores will resume in-person operations the following day, Monday, April 6.
Other stores that may close for Easter
Last year, Target, Sam’s Club, Aldi, and Publix also closed on Easter Sunday, though they have not yet confirmed their schedules for this year. Other retailers, such as Walmart, Kroger, and Trader Joe’s, typically remain open during the holiday.
Other 2026 dates when Costco will be closed
Most stores and supermarkets in the United States close on Thanksgiving, observed on the fourth Thursday of November, and on Christmas Day, celebrated on December 25. However, Costco closes on seven holidays each year.
The holidays observed by the company include New Year’s Day, Easter Sunday, which is not an official federal holiday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.
In addition to April 5 for Easter Sunday, Costco will also be closed on the following dates in 2026:
- Memorial Day : Monday, May 25, 2026
- Independence Day: Saturday, July 4, 2026 (although the federal holiday is observed Friday, July 3, since July 4 falls on a Saturday in 2026)
- Labor Day: Monday, September 7, 2026
- Thanksgiving Day: Thursday, November 26, 2026
- Christmas Day: Friday, December 25, 2026
