Memorial Day Closures Leave Banks, Mail and Markets Shut Monday

Limited parcel service and high gas prices mean travelers and shoppers should plan errands before the holiday.

Overview

  • Most bank branches will be closed on Monday, May 25, and the Federal Reserve will observe the holiday while ATMs and online banking remain available.
  • The U.S. Postal Service will not deliver mail and post office locations will be closed on Monday, May 25.
  • UPS and FedEx have suspended routine pickups and deliveries for the holiday and will operate only limited emergency or critical-only services.
  • Many big-box retailers, grocery stores, pharmacies, and restaurants will stay open with normal or reduced hours, with Costco a notable national exception that will be closed.
  • AAA estimates about 45 million Americans will travel over the long weekend and national average gas prices near $4.50–$4.55 per gallon make timing and cost planning more important for trips and last-minute errands.
