30 Stores Open on Memorial Day in 2022 (and 4 That Will Be Closed)

Are stores open for Memorial Day? This year, Memorial Day falls on Monday, May 30, and many people will choose to spend the day at barbecues, taking Memorial Day getaways, honoring service members, or enjoying some of these other Memorial Day activities. But it’s also not as much of a large, family-focused holiday as Thanksgiving, the Fourth of July, Hanukkah, or Christmas—so you might wonder if stores are open and if you can spend part of the day shopping.

While Memorial Day is in fact a federal holiday, and places like banks and post offices will be closed, many everyday retailers and restaurants will not. You may want to pop over to a store to pick up some last-minute Memorial Day decorations, or you may plan to take advantage of Memorial Day sales—in fact, if you’ve been wanting to replace a big-ticket home item, check out these Memorial Day furniture sales. Just be sure to call your local store ahead to double-check that they’re open, as some retailers vary by location.
