Is Costco open today? No. Costco is closed on July 4, while Target and Walmart will keep regular hours, giving holiday shoppers two major alternatives on a day when store schedules split by company.
Target and Walmart hours on July 4
8 a.m. to 11 p.m. local time is Target’s normal schedule on both July 3 and July 4. Shoppers looking for a later stop after work or before holiday plans can use that window without needing a special holiday schedule.
6 a.m. to 11 p.m. local time is Walmart’s normal schedule on both July 3 and July 4. That earlier opening gives consumers a wider morning option than Target, which may matter for last-minute holiday errands.
Costco closes on July 4
July 4 falls on a Saturday this year, and companies may observe the holiday on July 3. Most retail stores will be open on Friday, July 3, so the holiday timing creates a two-day shopping stretch before the closure hits.
Costco’s shutdown on July 4 leaves members with a narrower plan than shoppers using Target or Walmart. For anyone relying on Costco for bulk purchases, the practical move is to buy on July 3 rather than wait for the holiday itself.
July 3 and July 6 timing
July 3 is the day to shop if Costco is on your list, since the available schedule points to a closure on July 4 and normal operations at Target and Walmart on both days. July 6 is the next date tied to a return to service for U.S. post offices after the holiday, which helps frame the larger holiday-weekend schedule.
