Costco Hours on Presidents Day 2026: What Shoppers Need to Know Now
If you’re planning a Costco run today, here’s what you absolutely need to know before you grab your keys and head out the door.
Presidents Day 2026 is a federal holiday in the United States, officially known as Washington’s Birthday and it brings a mix of closures and business as usual across the country. Government offices are closed. Courts are closed. Most public schools are closed. Banks are closed. And importantly for investors, the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq are not trading today.
But when it comes to major retailers like Costco, the story is very different.
Most big-box stores, including Costco warehouses, are open on Presidents Day. That means shoppers can still stock up on groceries, electronics and household essentials. However, holiday hours can vary slightly by location. Some warehouses may close earlier than usual and certain services inside the store, like pharmacy counters, could operate on modified schedules.

So while the doors are open, it is always smart to check your local store’s hours online or call ahead before making the trip. A quick check can save you time, especially if you are planning around work, school schedules, or family gatherings.
This holiday, observed on the third Monday of February, was originally meant to honor George Washington. Over time, it evolved into Presidents Day, informally recognizing other U.S. presidents as well, including Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday falls close to this date.
The broader impact of the holiday is felt across financial markets and public services. The U.S. Postal Service is not delivering mail today. Most banks will reopen Tuesday. Bond markets are also closed. Delivery services like FedEx and UPS are operating, but some options may be delayed.
For retailers, though, this day often means strong foot traffic. Many shoppers take advantage of the long weekend for errands, home projects and sales events. That can mean busy parking lots and longer checkout lines at places like Costco.
So if you are heading out, plan ahead, go early if you can and double-check those local hours.
