Costco to Close All US Stores for Independence Day
Shoppers are advised to prepare for closures. Costco Wholesale will temporarily shutter its 627 locations across the United States and Puerto Rico on July 4th, impacting members’ shopping plans.
Holiday Closure Details
Costco announced all its stores in the United States and Puerto Rico will be closed on July 4th. This policy, confirmed on the official website, is a standard part of their holiday schedule. Normal operations will resume on July 5th.
“Unlike other retailers who continue to operate with reduced schedules on holidays, Costco It maintains a clear policy of closures on key dates to allow your employees to rest and enjoy holidays with their families.”
—Costco Spokesperson
This closure means Costco employees get a paid day off for the holiday. The company prioritizes staff well-being with these closures, as demonstrated by a policy providing paid time off to employees on designated holidays (U.S. Department of Labor).
Annual Calendar
Costco typically closes its stores seven times a year. The planned closures for 2025 include New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
This approach reflects the company’s dedication to its workforce, viewed positively by many customers.
