India, May 23 -- People planning to shop for Memorial Day barbecues at Costco should prepare ahead of time. The popular warehouse store has confirmed that all its US locations will be closed on Monday, 26 May, to observe Memorial Day.

Costco has a long tradition of closing on major US holidays. This gives its employees time to rest and reflect. While many shops stay open, Costco continues to stand out by putting its values first.

Memorial Day is a very meaningful day in the United States. It honors military members who died while serving the country. Costco's decision to close is a sign of respect. As the Wounded Warrior Project explains, Memorial Day honours "the sacrifice and loss of those who served and died in the military."
