While grocery and convenience stores will be open this Friday, Costco will be unshoppable this Family Day Monday- Looks like you’ll have to get your massive hot dog fix before February 20th.

But there you have it, friends. Everything that’s open/closed this Family Day in Edmonton. Please be sure to double-check the hours of operation no matter where you’re headed and enjoy the day!
