In just a few days, Costco will open its first warehouse in St. Johns County on August 3, 2022. This marks an exciting milestone for the retail giant as it continues to expand its reach to new areas.
As Memorial Day approaches, many people are eagerly anticipating the start of summer. This federal holiday falls on the last Monday of May and is a time to honor those who have given their lives in service to their country. On Memorial Day 2024, most national retailers will be open for business. Walmart and Target will have their doors open to customers, while Food Lion and most Kroger grocery stores will operate during regular hours. However, Costco warehouse stores will be closed on this day, so it’s important to check with local grocers and retailers for any closures or modified hours.
When it comes to financial markets, the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq will not be trading on Memorial Day. Banks, including the Federal Reserve and most major banks, will also be closed as well. However, ATMs and online banking services will still be available for use by customers seeking access to their funds.
The United States Postal Service won’t be delivering mail on Memorial Day, and most UPS shipping services won’t be available either. Limited UPS stores may open but UPS express critical delivery service is available for urgent shipments that require fast delivery. FedEx services are closed except for custom critical services that handle urgent, sensitive or potentially hazardous shipments.
Overall, Memorial Day is a time for reflection and gratitude towards those who made sacrifices in the name of freedom and peace in our country. While many businesses remain open on this day, it’s important to keep track of any closures or modified hours that might affect your plans accordingly.
