Each year, on the last Monday of May, Americans gather around the country to celebrate and remember the brave servicemen and women who gave their lives fighting for freedom. Memorial Day is not only a national holiday, but it is also a federal holiday, meaning that the federal government recognizes the day by closing government-operated buildings, like banks. So many other businesses follow suit, including some stories. With that being said, it can be a little tricky to remember just what establishments will be open (or closed) come May 29.

So, if you happen to be wondering what is open on Memorial Day, we have a comprehensive list of all of the grocery stores, mail centers, retail stores, restaurants and more that will be operating normally during the holiday. We even listed a few that will be closed, so you can plan in advance to make your visits ahead of any planned celebrations or festive activities.

As always, be sure to call ahead to any of your local stores to confirm holiday hours before you make your trip. Here’s what’s open this holiday weekend:
