What are Costco’s Thanksgiving hours?
Costco's Thanksgiving closure is about as certain as retail hours get. Thanksgiving is one of seven official holidays on which Costco closes every warehouse: New Year's Day, Easter Sunday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day. The closure covers not just the warehouse floor but also gas stations, pharmacies, optical centers, and tire centers.
Unlike most chains, Costco does not open early on Black Friday — warehouses run their regular Friday schedule (typically 10:00 AM – 8:30 PM) on November 27. If you're hunting Black Friday deals at Costco, there's no 6:00 AM doorbuster line to join.
Looking ahead: Costco is also closed on Christmas Day, and typically runs reduced hours on Christmas Eve (recent pattern: 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM, varying by warehouse). Stock up by Wednesday evening — Thanksgiving morning at Costco isn't an option.
