(NEXSTAR) — Banks, post offices, government offices, and many other workplaces will be closed for Memorial Day, which falls on May 27 this year. Many restaurants and stores, however, will be open.
There are some exceptions. Costco, for example, will be closed for Memorial Day, despite the holiday sales they’re running over the weekend. Fast food chicken chain Raising Cane’s will also close its doors for Memorial Day.
Some retailers will have shortened hours, like ALDI and Sam’s Club, which will close at 6 p.m.
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.

In addition to the U.S. Postal Service, most services provided by UPS, FedEx, and Amazon will be unavailable on Memorial Day, meaning you likely won’t be receiving any mail or packages. Most banks will close for the day as well, but ATMs will still be accessible.
The next major holiday that could alter business hours is Independence Day on July 4.
