Summer cookout season is finally here. While summer doesn’t officially begin until June 21, Memorial Day is the unofficial kickoff to the lazy days of summer—and the start of many people’s vacation season. The holiday, which is meant to honor American soldiers who have died in military service, is also a favorite of retailers, who hope to capture shoppers’ attentions before they begin to focus on outdoor activities.

Not every major retailer is open, though. And it can be hard to keep up with which other businesses give their workers a day off. Here’s a comprehensive look at which stores are open and closed and which services are available on Memorial Day 2023.

Are banks open on Memorial Day 2023?

Memorial Day is a bank holiday, meaning all branches will be closed. ATM machines, as always, are available if you need to get cash or make a deposit into your account, however. And, of course, many operations can be done online or with your bank’s app.

Is the post office open on Memorial Day 2023?

Don’t bother checking the mailbox. Memorial Day is a federal holiday, so the U.S. Postal Service is closed, and no mail delivery will take place. UPS and FedEx also observe the holiday, though UPS Express Critical and FedEx Custom Critical are still available. FedEx will suspend Express service the Sunday before Memorial Day and Ground, Ground Economy and Freight service for the two day before the holiday. Select FedEx Office stores will be open, but have modified hours.

Is the stock market open on Memorial Day 2023?

Nope. The New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq and bond markets are all closed.

Which department stores are closed on Memorial Day 2023?

Most stores will be open, though that often doesn’t extend to locally-owned small businesses. Also, Costco will be closed.
