Is Costco Closed on Memorial Day? Florida Grocery Stores Open, Closed

Most major grocers and retailers stayed open, but Costco closed its warehouses for the federal holiday, company policy said.

  • Costco warehouses closed yesterday on Memorial Day, May 25, marking one of seven annual holiday closures the warehouse chain observes each year.
  • The holiday became a federal observance in 1971 and traces to 1868, when Union Army Commander-in-Chief John Logan declared a day commemorating Civil War soldiers.
  • Unlike Costco, most major grocery chains including Trader Joe's, Meijer, Publix, and Whole Foods remained open yesterday, with Walmart and Food Lion confirming to USA TODAY they maintained regular hours.
  • Shoppers unable to visit Costco had to stock up early for holiday gatherings, while federal services including banks and U.S. post offices closed for the observance.
  • With holiday hours varying significantly by location, shoppers should verify specific times before visiting retailers like Sam's Club and Aldi, which maintained reduced or variable schedules.
