As the year 2025 begins, many shoppers may be wondering about Costco’s availability on New Year’s Day. According to multiple sources, including USA Today and Newsweek, Costco will remain closed on January 1, 2025, in observance of the holiday. The decision to close on New Year’s Day aligns with Costco’s long-held tradition of giving employees time off for major holidays. Despite being open on New Year’s Eve, with operating hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on December 31, shoppers will need to plan accordingly as they will have to wait until January 2, 2025, when stores reopen at 9 a.m. The closure also mirrors the company’s past holiday schedules, ensuring employees can celebrate with their families. The Street also confirmed these hours, stressing the importance for consumers to check their local store hours in case of any regional variations. ‘We aim to create a work-life balance for our employees, which is why we remain closed on major holidays,’ stated a Costco spokesperson. Shoppers are encouraged to stock up on necessities before the holiday or prepare for a shopping spree upon the store’s reopening. Remember, despite the excitement of New Year’s celebrations, Costco remains dedicated to its values of employee welfare and customer satisfaction.
