As a federal holiday, many businesses will adjust their hours. Expect most banks to be closed, though online banking and ATMs will remain accessible. The stock market will also be shut down for the day.

Post offices and shipping services will be affected. The USPS will not deliver mail or packages, and their locations will be closed. UPS will halt pickups and deliveries, with many UPS Store locations closed. FedEx will offer limited service, with only FedEx Custom Critical deliveries available. FedEx Office stores will have modified hours.

Government agencies and schools will largely be closed. This includes nonessential government offices like the DMV, libraries, courthouses, and city halls. Federal and state courts will also be closed, and most public school districts will be off for the holiday.

On the retail front, many stores will be open, including major retailers like Walmart, Target, and Kmart. However, Costco will be closed. Grocery stores such as Kroger, Aldi, H-E-B, Trader Joe's, Publix, and Whole Foods are generally expected to be open, but it's always wise to confirm your local store's hours.
