What stores are open and closed on Memorial Day

By Rachel Trent, CNN

A year ago, states were starting to ease coronavirus restrictions while warning Americans not to gather with large groups for Memorial Day out of concern for the second wave of infections.

This year, celebrations for the unofficial start of summer may look a little more familiar now that millions of Americans have been vaccinated against Covid-19. And unlike other federal holidays, most major stores are open during regular hours. But not everything is business as usual.

So whether you’re planning a long-awaited gathering or just trying to get some errands done Monday, here’s what is open and closed.
