Costco Holiday Hours in Canada: 2026 Business Centre Times and Warehouse Updates | Checked Nov. 11

Checked November 11, 2026, at 3:18 p.m. Toronto time, EST (UTC−05:00); 8:18 p.m. UTC.

Costco has posted specific 2026 holiday hours for its Canadian Business Centres, including early closes on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, a full Christmas Day closure, and a province-specific Boxing Day opening in Quebec. Regular Costco warehouses use a different schedule: Costco Canada directs shoppers to each warehouse page for its own hours and holiday closures, so there is no single national timetable to apply to every store.

For the posted Business Centre times, read each clock time as local to the warehouse. That means, for example, Eastern Standard Time in Toronto (UTC−05:00) and Pacific Standard Time in Vancouver (UTC−08:00) on the December dates below. The listed holiday hours are store operating times, not delivery windows; Costco notes separate delivery exceptions.

Destaques

• Costco Business Centres list 7 a.m.–5 p.m. hours on December 24 and 31, 2026, and closure on December 25 and January 1.
• On Boxing Day, December 26, Business Centres list 7 a.m.–7 p.m. in most areas and 1 p.m.–7 p.m. in Quebec; no Business Centre deliveries are listed that day.
• Regular warehouse holiday hours are location-specific; Costco’s locator says to check the individual warehouse page.
• Recent Remembrance Day listings showed a late opening in Ottawa and Winnipeg and a closure in Halifax and Fredericton.

What are Costco Business Centre holiday hours in Canada for 2026?

Costco’s official Business Centre holiday page lists the following hours for the 2026 year-end period. All times are local to the Business Centre. The page gives a general schedule and calls out Quebec’s later Boxing Day opening.

For reference, Toronto is on Eastern Standard Time (UTC−05:00) on these December dates; Winnipeg is on Central Standard Time (UTC−06:00), and Vancouver is on Pacific Standard Time (UTC−08:00). The same clock times on the schedule therefore occur at different moments in UTC across Canada. Check the warehouse’s listed city and time zone if coordinating a pickup or a delivery with someone elsewhere.

These Business Centre hours should not be treated as the schedule for a regular Costco warehouse. Business Centres have their own operating and delivery calendar, and Costco’s page lists some service or delivery exceptions by region.

Are regular Costco warehouses open on holiday dates?

Costco Canada’s warehouse locator instructs customers to select a local warehouse to see its hours and upcoming holiday closures. The company’s customer-service guidance likewise says hours can vary slightly by warehouse and that location pages show adjusted holiday hours and closures. As of this check, Costco does not provide one nationwide holiday-hours table for regular warehouses on the locator page. A schedule for one city or province should not be assumed to apply across Canada.

Holiday calendars may also differ by service within a single location. A gas station, pharmacy, optical department, food court, or tire centre can have separate hours. Costco’s customer-service page recommends opening the warehouse’s Store Details section for service hours; a service listing that provides only a phone number follows the warehouse schedule, according to that guidance.

What did Costco list for Remembrance Day 2026?

The latest dated holiday listings provide a useful example of why customers should check by location. On Wednesday, November 11, 2026, Costco’s Halifax warehouse page listed the store as closed, as did the Fredericton warehouse page. An East Winnipeg warehouse listing showed 1:00 p.m.–8:30 p.m. Central Standard Time (UTC−06:00). Costco pages for Gloucester and other Ottawa-area warehouses listed 12:30 p.m.–8:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (UTC−05:00). These are specific warehouse examples, not blanket statements about every Costco in those provinces.

The date has passed, but the listings show the practical impact of province and local rules on a holiday shopping trip: some stores closed, while others opened later than usual. If another provincial or civic holiday is approaching, use the individual warehouse entry rather than copying last year’s hours or a neighbouring city’s schedule.

How can you check your Costco’s holiday opening and closing time?

Open Costco Canada’s Find a Warehouse page and search by city, province, or postal code. Select the exact warehouse and look for its regular hours and any named holiday schedule. Check the page again close to your visit because adjusted hours can be added or changed. The warehouse page also provides a phone number if you need to confirm an unusual listing.

When checking, make sure you have selected the correct type of location. A Costco Business Centre is not the same schedule as a regular warehouse. Then check any department you plan to use: warehouse closing time does not guarantee that a pharmacy, optical counter, or tire centre stays open for the same period. For Business Centre orders, distinguish in-person opening hours from delivery or pickup restrictions listed for the holiday.
