(NEXSTAR) — Heading out to a parade, cookout, beach day, or another event for Memorial Day, only to find out you’ve forgotten sunscreen or a snack? You’re in luck – many stores and restaurants will be open for the holiday.
There are a few businesses and services that will be unavailable. Banks and post offices will, as usual, be closed for Memorial Day, which falls on May 26 this year. Warehouse retailer Costco and chicken fast food chain Raising Cane’s are closing their doors for the holiday as well.
In addition to no mail, you may not receive any packages on Memorial Day, either. UPS, Amazon, and FedEx observe the holiday, meaning you likely won’t receive any packages (though some specific services may still be available).
Nonetheless, several stores and restaurants will be open for the holiday. Some may be operating with shortened hours, and services (like pharmacies, eye care centers, automotive centers, and photo centers) may be limited or unavailable. It’s best to call ahead or check a business’s app or website to confirm your local hours.
