Thinking about a warehouse run?
Here’s a simple, reliable guide to Costco store hours, how department and gas hours differ, which holidays warehouses typically close and the fastest ways to get what you need — whether you’re shopping in person or online.
Costco Regular Warehouse Hours
Hours vary by city and warehouse, but many U.S. locations follow a similar pattern:
- Sunday: around 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
- Monday-Friday: around 10:00 a.m. – 8:30 p.m.
- Saturday: around 9:30 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Tip: Always confirm your local schedule using the Find a Warehouse tool in the Costco app or on their website — mall-based, urban and seasonal locations may differ.
Gas, Pharmacy and Other Department Hours
Warehouse departments can run on different schedules from the main store:
- Costco Gas: Often opens earlier and closes later than the warehouse; hours vary widely by market.
- Pharmacy: Commonly shorter hours than the main store and may be closed on Sundays/holidays in some areas.
- Optical, Hearing, Photo, Tire Center, Food Court: Hours vary by location and may not match the warehouse closing time.
Check your warehouse’s department hours on its local page (within the locator) before you go — especially for Pharmacy, Tire Center and Gas.
Costco 2025 Holiday Schedule
Costco confirms seven U.S. warehouse closures each year. Here’s the at-a-glance schedule for 2025, plus other federal holidays for planning. Always confirm local hours around each date.

Other federal or seasonal holidays may be open with regular or modified hours. Gas, Pharmacy and departments may operate on reduced schedules around holidays — confirm locally.
Heads-up on payments & posts: Some banking and delivery services don’t run on federal holidays. If you’re planning a big shop or prescription pickup, check hours early and plan a day before/after closures.
How To Shop When the Warehouse Is Busy — or Closed
You’ve got options even if your local warehouse is packed or temporarily closed:
- Costco.com: Order many items for shipping; delivery timeframes vary by item and location.
- Same-day delivery (select markets): Available for many grocery and household staples in participating areas.
- Plan ahead: Check item availability, department hours and gas schedules on your warehouse’s local page — then time your trip for off-peak hours.
Tips for a Smoother Costco Trip
- Go off-peak: Weekday mornings or later evenings are usually quieter than weekend afternoons.
- Check gas first: If you rely on Costco Gas, verify hours before you line up — stations may open earlier than the warehouse.
- Call departments when in doubt: Tire Center installs, Optical exams and Pharmacy pickups can book up or close earlier.
- Bring your membership & backup plan: Some locations limit certain services near closing time; arrive with a little buffer.
Final Take to GO
Costco keeps hours that work for most shoppers — but department and gas schedules can differ, and warehouses close on key holidays.
For a stress-free run, check your specific warehouse page for today’s hours, confirm any department times you need and consider online or same-day options when the store is busy or closed.
