TIL: Costco Is Closed on Boxing Day Only in NSW

I thought Costco religiously closed on all public holidays because that was their "thing" - abiding by all gazetted days off.

Saw a post today about a Costco deal and wondered whether it was from today or not - turns out it may well have been but not by someone from NSW.

So I looked at Store Details for all Costco locations and, shock horror, only NSW is closed on Boxing Day.

Wondering what would be the reason behind this.

Could be unprofitable due to penalty rates and/or less customers due to ppl going to major shopping centers.

I went to the aurburn on on christmas eve, all the fresh meat and vegetables and bread/cakes where GONE. shelves emptied. i doubt they are gonna restock on xmas day so probably no point opening on boxing day
