Memorial Day Store Hours: What’s Open and Closed on May 26

(City, State) – As the nation remembers its brave service members on Memorial Day, May 26, many retailers and services will remain open despite the closure of banks and mailing services.

This year, a record 45.1 million people are expected to travel, according to AAA, prompting many to seek out supplies and shopping options. Various stores have announced their operating hours for the holiday weekend.

Most major retailers, including Target and Walmart, will be open during regular store hours, although customers are encouraged to check local listings for any changes. Walmart’s hours are typically from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., depending on the type of store.

Costco warehouses will also be open, providing shoppers with access to bulk items. However, some stores, like Aldi, will operate on limited hours, and customers should verify their local store’s schedule.

Popular pharmacy chains like CVS and Walgreens are typically open on Memorial Day, but some locations may have reduced hours, especially for pharmacy services. It is best to call ahead to confirm.

Additionally, many stores are expected to have special promotions or discounts for the holiday weekend. Goodwill has seen significant Memorial Day sales in past years, making it a popular destination for shoppers looking for bargains.

“Memorial Day has been one of the top sales days for us over the last four years,” said Bill Parrish, a senior consultant for Goodwill Industries International.

For those looking to enjoy time outdoors, both Home Depot and Lowe's will be open as well, catering to customers preparing for summer projects.

As Memorial Day approaches, local store hours may vary significantly, so checking in advance is advised for customers who plan to shop.
