What stores, restaurants are open for Memorial Day 2025?
(NEXSTAR) — The unofficial start of summer, Memorial Day, is upon us, potentially lining you up for a three-day weekend of parades, fireworks, cookouts, and more. Should you need some sunscreen, a forgotten lunch menu item, or a snack for the road, many stores and restaurants will be open.
Others, however, will also be enjoying a day off.
Banks and post offices will, as usual, be closed for Memorial Day, which falls on May 26 this year.
Warehouse retailer Costco and chicken fast food chain Raising Cane's are closing their doors for the holiday as well.
Some businesses are staying open but with shortened hours that may vary by location. That includes ALDI, Sam's Club, PetSmart, and REI.
Below is a list of stores that will be operating with regular hours on Memorial Day. It's worth noting, though, that some services — like pharmacies, eye care centers, automotive centers, and photo centers — may not be available, or operate under shortened hours. It's best to call ahead or check a business's app or website to confirm your local hours.
Like the retailers listed above, most fast-food restaurants will be open for the holiday. They may have different hours than usual, so it's best to confirm whether your location is open before visiting.
Most gas station and convenience stores will also be open for the holiday.
Restaurants located within office buildings, malls, or stores that are closed for Memorial Day will, most likely, also be closed. And, because many are locally owned, there may be some locations that have shortened hours or don't open at all on Memorial Day.
In addition to no mail, you may not receive any packages on Memorial Day, either. UPS, Amazon, and FedEx observe the holiday, meaning you likely won't receive any packages (though some specific services may still be available).
The next major holiday that could alter business hours is Independence Day on July 4.

3 Resilient Retail Stocks That Are Still Growing Amid Tariffs
These companies have generated positive growth in their recent results despite macroeconomic headwinds. These retailers are large and may be better positioned for long-term growth than other companies. 10 stocks we like better than Walmart › The tariff risk is a big one for retailers. It can spike costs significantly for businesses, forcing them to either pass on those increases to consumers, or absorb them, resulting in leaner profits. It's not a great situation, regardless of which way you want to look at it. Some retailers, however, have been demonstrating strong resilience in the face of these threats, in a great sign of their sheer strength. Walmart (NYSE: WMT), Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST), and Dick's Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS) all posted strong quarterly numbers recently. Does that make them good buys today? Let's take a closer look and find out. On May 15, big-box retailer Walmart released its latest quarterly results, for the period ending April 30. Sales for the quarter totaled $165.6 billion, which were up by 4% when excluding the impact of foreign exchange. And its operating income also rose by more than 4% to $7.1 billion. Around 60% of the company's sales come from its grocery operations, which is why the business may be better suited to handle the effects of tariffs than other retailers. Groceries are necessities that consumers simply can't forgo the way they can with more discretionary purchases when prices rise. And with Walmart offering a vast array of products, it's also a convenient one-stop shop for customers in the event they do want to buy more than just groceries. The retail stock has done well this year, rising by more than 7% in value entering trading this week. At more than 41 times its trailing earnings, it isn't a cheap buy. But if you want stability and are willing to hang on for the long haul, Walmart can be one of the safer and more resilient retail stocks to put in your portfolio right now. Another top retailer that has been doing well of late is Costco. It posted its latest numbers on May 29, and it posted comparable revenue growth of 8% for the period ending May 11. Total revenue of $63.2 billion was up by a similar percentage, while net income of $1.9 billion rose by 13%. The company did say that tariffs have increased its costs and forced it to raise prices in some situations. But consumers can often save money on a per-item basis when shopping at Costco by buying in bulk, and a solid growth rate in the past quarter seems to indicate that's still very much the case. Costco's stock is up 9% this year, but at 57 times its trailing earnings, its valuation has gotten a bit out of hand. And my concern is that if economic conditions worsen, consumers may not be able to afford to buy in bulk, even if it means saving money in the longer term. Cutting out a trip to Costco is an easy way for shoppers to reduce their overall expenditures, and that may end up happening if economic conditions don't improve. When you combine that with an extremely high-priced valuation, you end up with a stock that could be due for a steep correction. As much as I like Costco's business, this isn't a stock I'd buy today, as there's simply too much optimism and bullishness priced into its current valuation. The retail stock that has surprised me the most is Dick's Sporting Goods. The sporting goods retailer is not only doing well and growing, but it's in acquisition mode as well. Recently, it announced plans to buy Foot Locker for $2.4 billion as it looks to reach a broader customer base. And Dick's is already doing well as it is. In its most recent quarter, which ended on May 3, its same-store sales growth was 4.5%, marking the fifth straight quarter where its comparable growth rate was more than 4%. That's a remarkable achievement at a time when consumers are supposedly cutting back on discretionary purchases. The bad news is that the company did experience an 11% decline in its bottom line, with net income falling to $264 million for the period (on net sales of $3.2 billion). The stock has been struggling this year, and it is down more than 20% thus far in 2025 amid macroeconomic concerns. But it trades at just 13 times its trailing earnings and could be a good value buy, especially with it still producing solid growth and looking to enhance its prospects with the acquisition of Foot Locker. While there is some risk here in the short term, given Dick's modest valuation, I think the stock can make a lot of sense as a long-term hold, as it gives investors a good margin of safety at its reduced price.

Senate Republican questions megabill deadline — and says Musk ‘missed an opportunity' to shape it
Utah Republican Sen. John Curtis raised doubts on Tuesday the GOP could pass its megabill by its self-imposed Independence Day deadline. Curtis, speaking at the POLITICO Energy Summit in Washington, said, 'I think a lot of us would be surprised if it passed by July 4.' He added: 'I think that's a false deadline. I don't think that we need to put a specific deadline on it. Let's get it right.' Advertisement Curtis, who has been pushing for specific changes to the House-passed tax cut, energy and security spending budget bill, said the package would unfairly phase out tax credits from the Democrats' 2022 climate law. He said the rollbacks could harm energy workers and the economy.

Woman alleges Costco cabinet display fell on her in $14M lawsuit
(NewsNation) — A California woman has sued Costco Wholesale Corporation for more than $14 million in damages after she says a cabinet display fell on her while shopping. Sadie Novotny said she was shopping at the big-box retailer's Santa Rosa, California, location on March 22 when a heavy liquor cabinet display fell on her, according to a lawsuit obtained by multiple outlets. The suit alleges the incident caused 'multiple, permanent and catastrophic' injuries, including some to her head and brain. Dip, dip hooray: Chipotle introduces 'bold' new sauce, first in five years Novotny is suing Costco for general negligence, premises liability and products liability. She alleges Costco 'negligently failed to adequately manage and or operate their store and or their merchandise' and 'negligently failed to train, manage and supervise their employees.' That negligence, paired with the cabinet's 'thin legs' and positioning on an 'inadequate wooden pallet,' caused the cabinet to fall, Novotny's lawsuit says. What is Labubu, and where can you buy them? The $14 million in damages includes $5 million for emotional distress and another $5 million for pain, suffering and inconvenience, according to the lawsuit.
