Christmas Eve can be a busy day for many Americans as they get ready to celebrate the holiday.
For some, that means shopping trips for groceries, gifts or other purchases.
The times that consumers will be able to visit stores on Christmas Eve can depend on the company and the location.
That being said, wholesale retailers Costco, Sam’s Club and BJ’s Wholesale Club will plan to have their doors open on Christmas Eve.
BJ’s Wholesale Club said its holiday hours will start at 8 a.m. on Tuesday. Meanwhile, for Sam’s Club, members will have until 6 p.m. to shop, the retailer’s website said.

The 1,900-plus stores that Target has are welcoming shoppers from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Christmas Eve, the retailer announced in mid-November.
Christmas Eve shoppers also have multiple choices when it comes to grocery store operators.
Kroger customers can largely expect their local stores to offer shopping as they typically do, according to USA Today.
Aldi stores "operate limited hours" on Christmas Eve, the chain said on its website, adding that "specific holiday hours for your local store can be found by using our store locator."
"Albertsons Companies’ banner stores and pharmacies including Safeway, Albertsons, Jewel-Osco, ACME, Randalls, Shaw’s, Vons and Tom Thumb will be open on Christmas Eve at reduced hours," a spokesperson told FOX Business. "Many of those banner stores and pharmacies, including Jewel-Osco, Randalls, Shaw’s and Tom Thumb will be closed on Christmas Day. Select Albertsons, Safeway, ACME and Vons stores that are open, will have adjusted hours. We recommend that customers check with their local store and pharmacy before visiting during the Christmas holiday."
Publix said online its locations "will close at 7 p.m." on Tuesday. Its footprint includes nearly 1,400 supermarkets in eight states.
"Many of our stores open for modified hours on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day," Amazon-owned Whole Foods said on its website. "Check your local store page for details."
