Is Costco Open Today? Remembrance Day Hours Across Canada — Nov. 11, 2026

Updated: November 11, 2026, 3:14 p.m. EST (UTC−05:00). Costco is open today at some Canadian locations, but Remembrance Day hours vary by warehouse. Costco’s live listings show afternoon openings in Ontario, Manitoba and Alberta, so shoppers should check their specific location before travelling.

The practical difference is significant: a warehouse that normally opens in the morning may remain closed until noon or 12:30 p.m., and services such as gas, pharmacy and tire centres may follow different schedules. Costco’s warehouse locator says regular hours apply unless a location lists an exception.

Destaques

• Costco is not following one Canada-wide Remembrance Day schedule.
• Nepean, Ontario, lists warehouse and gas hours of 12:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
• Medicine Hat, Alberta, lists 12 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.; Winnipeg warehouses list 1 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
• Check your warehouse’s page and confirm service-department hours before leaving.

Is Costco open today in Canada?

For Wednesday, November 11, the answer depends on the warehouse. Costco’s official pages show reduced Remembrance Day hours at the locations checked for this article. Nepean and Barrhaven in Ontario list 12:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.; Medicine Hat lists noon to 8:30 p.m.; and both the East Winnipeg and South Winnipeg warehouses list 1 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. These are examples, not a province-wide rule.

Costco’s locator asks customers to select a warehouse to see its hours and upcoming holiday closures. Search by city, province or postal code, then read the location page for any named holiday schedule. The live listings provide a clearer answer than assuming the regular weekday opening time applies.

What are Costco’s Remembrance Day hours by province?

The verified examples illustrate why a province-by-province generalisation can mislead. The Ontario warehouses sampled open at 12:30 p.m.; Medicine Hat in Alberta opens at noon; and Winnipeg’s two listed warehouses open at 1 p.m. Closing time is 8:30 p.m. at these locations. Hours can still differ at other warehouses, including within the same city or province.

Costco’s official pages for Nepean, Medicine Hat and East Winnipeg each display their Remembrance Day hours on the warehouse listing. For other provinces and territories, use the same locator rather than treating these three examples as a national schedule. If a specific warehouse page does not show a holiday exception, Costco says regular hours apply unless otherwise specified; calling the warehouse is a sensible final check when the trip is time-sensitive.

Are Costco gas stations, pharmacies and tire centres open today?

Not necessarily on the same schedule as the warehouse. Nepean’s official listing gives its gas station the same Remembrance Day window as the warehouse—12:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Medicine Hat also lists gas station hours of noon to 8:30 p.m. In these examples, gas is not shown opening before the warehouse.

Service details differ. Nepean’s pharmacy page shows regular weekday hours but does not list a separate Remembrance Day schedule in the available listing. Its tire centre says operating hours match the warehouse, and appointments are recommended. Medicine Hat lists a pharmacy and tire centre, but its page likewise does not show a separate holiday schedule for each service. Check the service section on the exact warehouse page, then call if you need a prescription, tire appointment or another time-sensitive service.

Food court, optical, hearing-aid and membership-counter hours can also be location-specific. A warehouse being open does not by itself confirm that every department is operating throughout the day.

Why do Costco holiday hours vary by province?

Remembrance Day observance and retail rules are not identical across Canada, and businesses set hours for individual locations. Costco’s own listings show different start times among the sampled locations, even though each is marked for the same holiday. The listings are the direct evidence for these warehouses; they do not establish a single cause for every local schedule.

That variation has an immediate consequence for planning: an early arrival may mean waiting outside, while a gas stop or pharmacy visit may not be possible when expected. The safest approach is to check the exact address and service, especially if you are crossing a municipal boundary or travelling to a nearby warehouse.

How can you check a Costco warehouse before you go?

1. Open Costco Canada’s warehouse locator.
2. Enter your city, province or postal code and select the intended warehouse.
3. Look for “Remembrance Day” beneath the regular hours, then check the gas, pharmacy or tire-centre section separately.
4. Call the warehouse if the service schedule is missing or your visit depends on a particular department.

Costco’s location pages are updated and can change. Recheck before departure if you are planning a late-day visit. The hours above are a snapshot of official pages checked on November 11, 2026; schedules for other locations were not independently confirmed here.
