Labor Day Closure Announced
As Labor Day approaches on Monday, Sept. 7, shoppers planning to stock up for the holiday weekend may need to adjust their schedules. Costco, the popular wholesale retailer, will be closed on Sept. 7 due to the Labor Day holiday, as reported by al.com, MassLive, nj.com, and The Oregonian.
The closure applies to all Costco warehouses, meaning members cannot shop on the holiday itself. For those needing last-minute items, the reports suggest planning ahead and shopping before Sept. 7 or turning to alternative retailers.
Operating Hours Around the Holiday
Costco will be open on Sept. 6 and Sept. 8, providing opportunities for shoppers to visit either before or after the holiday closure. According to the reports, most Costco warehouses open at 9 a.m. for Executive Members and 10 a.m. for Gold Star and Business Members, with closing time set at 8:30 p.m.
However, the reports note that store hours may vary by location, advising customers to check their local store's hours of operation to confirm exact times.
Costco's Holiday Policy
This Labor Day closure is part of a broader pattern, as Costco is known for closing on most federal holidays throughout the year. The company's practice of giving employees the day off on such holidays means that shoppers should anticipate closures on other major federal observances as well.
