Today is Memorial Day, a federal holiday honoring and mourning those who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.
Also considered the unofficial beginning of summer, Memorial Day is always the final Monday in May.
Because it’s a federal holiday, banks will be closed. Online banking and ATMs will remain accessible, but the stock market will be closed.
The United States Postal Service will also be closed in observance of the holiday. There won’t be mail or packages delivered, and USPS locations will be closed.
Many stores offer some of their best sales of the year for the long weekend.
Here’s what major stores and restaurants will be open or closed throughout Memorial Day weekend this year:
