Indiana shoppers may face some inconvenience soon as a major retailer plans to close all locations statewide on the same day, giving employees time off for the holiday.
According to Capital One Shopping, while online shopping continues to grow, in-person shopping remains more popular in Indiana, where consumers prefer the convenience of picking up items instantly. However, shoppers are being urged to plan ahead as Costco announced it will close all Indiana stores on Labor Day.
Costco to Shut Doors for Labor Day
Costco, known for its bulk food deals and household essentials, will remain closed on Labor Day so employees can observe the holiday. Customers looking for last-minute cookout supplies or party items are advised to shop early.
Unlike Costco, other major retailers — Walmart, Target, and Meijer — will stay open, though some locations may close earlier than usual depending on store policies.
More Stores Embrace Holiday Closures
In recent years, several retailers across Indiana have begun closing on major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas to give employees more time with family. Costco continues its long-standing tradition of doing the same for Labor Day.
If you’re planning gatherings, cookouts, or shopping for bulk groceries, it’s best to stock up before the holiday to avoid last-minute rushes or store closures.
