No. Costco is closed on Thanksgiving Day, every year, at every warehouse in the United States. While some grocery chains stay open for the morning, Costco locks the doors for the full day, including the gas station, the pharmacy and the food court.

Plan the turkey run for Tuesday
The Wednesday before Thanksgiving is the busiest single day of the year at most Costco warehouses. Everyone who forgot something arrives at once, and by late morning the parking lot and the checkout lines are at their annual worst.
Tuesday is dramatically calmer, and the fresh stock you care about, turkeys, pies, rolls and produce, is fully in by then. If Wednesday is your only option, be there at opening. Executive members get in at 9:00 AM, and that first hour is the only genuinely quiet slot of the day.
Black Friday at Costco is not what you expect
Costco opens at its normal 10:00 AM on Black Friday. There is no early opening, no doorbuster line at dawn, and no reason to camp outside. Its holiday deals run across the whole week online and in warehouse, and the prices on Friday are the same as Saturday. Full Black Friday details here.
What is open on Thanksgiving instead?
The website. Costco.com keeps taking orders through the holiday, and same-day grocery delivery through Instacart operates in many areas even on Thanksgiving morning, though delivery windows fill up fast. For anything physical, the answer is Wednesday or Friday.
Frequently asked questions
Is Costco gas open on Thanksgiving?
No. The pumps close with the warehouse. Fill up on Wednesday, and expect a line when you do.
What time does Costco close the day before Thanksgiving?
Normal weekday time, 8:30 PM. The crowd thins noticeably after 7:00 PM, which makes Wednesday evening a decent option if the morning is impossible.
Is Costco open the Friday after Thanksgiving?
Yes, on completely normal hours: 10:00 AM to 8:30 PM, with Executive members in from 9:00 AM.
