"Last year" is the 2025 season as reported by NBC Chicago (Christmas Eve, 5 p.m. close), TODAY and Good Morning America (New Year's Eve, 6 p.m. close). TODAY, citing Costco's website, gave a 9 a.m. start on New Year's Eve, which matches the Executive member hour. Costco hadn't posted 2026 holiday hours when we checked, so confirm on your warehouse's page that week.
Gas, pharmacy and Business Centers
- Gas stations and pharmacies keep each warehouse's own schedule, and Costco shows holiday changes on each warehouse page. Costco's holiday list covers warehouses and doesn't list gas stations separately, so check your warehouse's page for Christmas and the Eves. Our gas station finder links straight to it.
- Business Centers close on the same holidays as warehouses (they only differ on Easter). See Costco Business Centers.
- Costco.com stays open for orders every day; check delivery estimates, since holidays slow shipping.
