Retailers and Services Adjust Operations for Memorial Day 2026
As Memorial Day 2026 approaches, various retailers and services across the United States are adjusting their operations to accommodate the holiday. Many Americans are preparing to celebrate the unofficial start of summer with barbecues, beach outings, and picnics. To support these activities, several major retailers, including Target and Walmart, will remain open during their regular hours on Monday, May 25. However, Costco warehouses will be closed for the day. Additionally, a range of fast-food chains and grocery stores, such as Applebee's, CVS Pharmacy, and Trader Joe's, will be open to serve customers. In contrast, non-essential government offices, post offices, and certain UPS and FedEx locations will be closed or operating on modified schedules. The stock market will also be closed in observance of the holiday, with trading set to resume on Tuesday, May 26.
