LIST: What’s open for Memorial Day 2024?

(NEXSTAR) — Banks, post offices, government offices, and many other workplaces will be closed for Memorial Day, which falls on May 27 this year. Many restaurants and stores, however, will be open.

There are some exceptions. Costco, for example, will be closed for Memorial Day, despite the holiday sales they’re running over the weekend. Fast food chicken chain Raising Cane’s will also close its doors for Memorial Day.


Are you flying the flag correctly for Memorial Day?

Some retailers will have shortened hours, like ALDI and Sam’s Club, which will close at 6 p.m.

1996 ad perfectly predicted today’s high cost-of-living. What does it mean for the future?

In addition to the U.S. Postal Service, most services provided by UPS, FedEx, and Amazon will be unavailable on Memorial Day, meaning you likely won’t be receiving any mail or packages. Most banks will close for the day as well, but ATMs will still be accessible.

The next major holiday that could alter business hours is Independence Day on July 4.
