Costco to Close All Minnesota Stores for Memorial Day 2025
Hey everyone, have you heard the latest news about Costco? It's a bit of a surprise, and while it's not a permanent change, it’s definitely something that’ll impact a lot of us—especially if you're the type who waits until the last minute to do your grocery shopping.

Costco has announced that all of its locations in Minnesota will be closed on Memorial Day, Monday, May 26, 2025 . That includes all 14 stores across the state—from Duluth to Eagan, St. Cloud to Maple Grove, and everywhere in between. So if you’re planning a barbecue, a family get-together, or even just a normal grocery run that weekend, you’ll need to plan ahead.
Now, let me be clear—this isn’t just a Minnesota thing. This closure is part of a nationwide schedule. All Costco stores across the U.S., including those in New York and Puerto Rico, will be closing their doors in observance of Memorial Day. It’s one of the few holidays Costco shuts down entirely, alongside Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year’s Day, Easter, Independence Day, and Labor Day. They’re doing this so that employees can take the day off, reflect, and spend time with their families—which I think we can all agree is a respectful and meaningful move.
The timing is especially noteworthy because Memorial Day isn’t just a long weekend—it’s a day of remembrance for the men and women who died serving in the U.S. military. It's also widely considered the unofficial kickoff to summer. So naturally, it’s a day packed with gatherings, cookouts, and road trips. But with Costco out of the picture that day, we’re being reminded to stock up early.
And if you live in New York or other states, the same rules apply. Costco will be closed there too. So it’s not just Minnesota shoppers being affected—it’s nationwide.
What stands out to me is how predictable this closure really is. Costco's not trying to throw a wrench in anyone’s plans—they actually release their full closure calendar for the year in advance. This helps people avoid those last-minute surprises. Still, it catches some folks off guard every time.
So take this as your friendly reminder: if you’ve got big plans for Memorial Day, make that Costco run before the 26th. Because come that Monday, those big warehouse doors will be shut tight across the entire state. Plan ahead, beat the rush, and maybe take a moment to appreciate the day for what it really stands for.
