Memorial Day 2025: What's Open and Closed in New York
Memorial Day, the unofficial kickoff to summer, is just around the corner, falling on Monday, May 26th, 2025. While many will be enjoying barbecues and the sunshine, it's important to remember the holiday's true meaning: honoring the brave members of the US armed forces who made the ultimate sacrifice. This also means changes to business hours and services.
So, what can you expect to be open and closed in New York?
Financial Services: Don't expect to trade stocks on Memorial Day. The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq will be closed. The Federal Reserve banks and most major banks will also be closed. However, you can still access your money through online banking and ATMs.
Retail and Grocery: Good news for shoppers! Most national retailers will be open. Walmart and Target will be welcoming customers. Food Lion and most Kroger grocery stores will operate during regular hours. Aldi stores will have limited hours. Whole Foods and Trader Joe's will also be open. However, Costco warehouse stores will be closed. It's always a good idea to check with your local grocer or retailer for specific hours.
Postal Services: If you're expecting mail, you'll have to wait. The USPS will not be delivering mail on Monday. UPS locations will be closed, with limited store locations open. FedEx will have limited services available.
BNN's Perspective: Memorial Day is a time for reflection and remembrance. While it's understandable that businesses adjust their hours, it's important to balance the need for commerce with the solemnity of the holiday. It's a good practice to plan ahead and be aware of closures, allowing us to honor the fallen while still enjoying the start of summer.
