Farewell to Costco coming soon – This is the date when all stores will close in the U.S. for a limited period for the celebration of Easter

As Easter gets closer, you might be planning to stop by Costco for your last-minute grocery run or Easter treats. But before you head out, here is something you need to know—Costco will not be open on Easter Sunday. Yes, all Costco stores in the United States will shut down for the holiday.

Let us break it down in a simple way so you know exactly when to shop and what to expect.

When will Costco close for Easter in 2025?

Costco will close all 617 of its U.S. stores for a full 24 hours on Sunday, April 20, 2025. The company made this announcement as part of its tradition of closing stores on major holidays like Labor Day, Thanksgiving, New Year’s Day, and Easter Sunday.

This is not a new thing for Costco. They have always taken a break on important holidays to give their employees time to be with their families.

• Closed date: Sunday, April 20, 2025
  
• Duration: 24 hours (all day)
  
• Reason: Easter holiday observance
  

Will Costco be open on Good Friday and Holy Saturday?

Yes, you will still have time to do your Easter shopping before the big day. According to the company’s schedule:

• Good Friday, April 18: Open from 9:00 AM to 8:30 PM
  
• Holy Saturday, April 19: Open from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM
  

So if you are planning to stock up on Easter ham, flowers, candy, or any other essentials, those are the best days to get it done. Just make sure you do not wait until the last minute on Sunday—because all stores will be closed.

Will Costco.com still be open on Easter?

Yes, Costco.com will remain open. So even though the physical stores will be shut for the day, you can still order items online. But keep in mind, deliveries might not go out that day, depending on your location and the carrier’s holiday schedule.

If you prefer to shop from home or forgot to grab something, the website is your backup option.

Why does Costco close for Easter?

Costco closes on Easter to give their employees a break and time to spend with their loved ones. It is part of the company’s values and long-time policy. They believe in allowing time off for their workers on major holidays.

This move is often appreciated by both employees and customers who respect the company’s focus on work-life balance.
