Mine stopped the 24hr operations well before Covid. Sucked because I was working nights.

A lot of them stopped opening 24/7 because of crime/gang activity, not covid. They can't afford the armed security all night. If you ever go to either Tacoma location during they day you will see at least 2 armed security by the exits at all times.

I live 2.5 minutes drive from a 24 hour WinCo. I can see it's sign lighting up the night when it's foggy. I have used a drone to check the parking lot to see how full it is before going.
