Costco, Aldi, and Sam’s Club to Close for a Day in January
As 2026 begins, major American retailers are taking a unique approach to welcome the New Year. On January 1st, stores like Costco, Aldi, and Sam’s Club will remain closed. This initiative focuses on allowing employees and shoppers to celebrate the holiday with their loved ones.
Store Closures on New Year’s Day
Costco, Aldi, and Sam’s Club will all close their doors on New Year’s Day. This decision emphasizes the importance of family time over retail activities.
Shopping Alternatives
For those in need of last-minute supplies, consider shopping early on New Year’s Eve. If you miss that opportunity, retailers such as Walmart and BJ’s Wholesale Club will operate on regular hours on January 1st. However, it’s advisable to confirm the hours for your local store as they may vary.
- Closed on New Year’s Day: Costco, Aldi, Sam’s Club
- Open on New Year’s Day: Walmart, BJ’s Wholesale Club
- Pharmacies: Most CVS and Walgreens locations will be open, but hours vary.
This practice is a reminder that while shopping is important, the New Year’s holiday holds significant value for personal celebration. Ensure plans are made accordingly to accommodate these closures for a smooth holiday experience.
