Is Costco Open on Labor Day?

Federal holidays tend to double as huge shopping days. This Monday September 3, Labor Day, is no different. Bearing this in mind, you’d expect that most large retailers would be open for holiday sales. Other retailers, however, will be closing their doors in honor of Labor Day. Costco is one of those companies that closes its doors while other retailers remain open. So you may be wondering, will Costco close its doors for Labor Day?

No. Costco will be closed on Labor Day. Costco gas stations will also not be open on the Labor Day Holiday. Costco is known to value its employees immensely and the company has chosen Labor Day as one of the few days during the year that it will not be open. This won’t stop the company from offering its customers great Labor Day deals on the weekend before Labor Day.

Costco Labor Day Deals

Costco doesn’t have any Labor Day-specific deals but the company’s current sales range from items such as laptops, consumer electronics, furniture, room accessories and men’s and ladies’ wear. If you are shopping at Costco, you’ve got at least two options for saving money. First, you can look for a one time discount through a coupon site like the crazy coupon lady or you can contact the Costco warehouse and see if they have any manager specific or store specific discounts. Second, you can use a cash back Costco credit card and take the 2% rebate offered by Costco. Most in-store purchases count for the 2% cash back.
