February 15, 2018 By Alexa Mason 1 Comment

Presidents Day is Monday, Feb. 19. As the third federal holiday of the year, the holiday leaves many people wondering what is open and what is closed. Some of your favorite local stores may be closing their doors for the holiday, however, the majority of major retailers will continue to have their doors open.

Walmart, the largest retailer in the United States, is a store that many people worry about. However, have no fear because Walmart closes only one day a year. The store in which many people rely on to get their groceries and other household needs only closes on Christmas Day. Store hours can vary on some holidays though, so Presidents Day still has many people wondering, is Walmart open on Presidents Day? If so, what are their hours?

Is Walmart Open Presidents Day?

Walmart will be open on Presidents Day. According to Walmart’s holiday schedule, Christmas is the only federal holiday in which Walmart closes its doors entirely. So, if you need anything from the retail giant on Monday, you will be able to get it.

Are Other Services Available?

Most Walmart stores have a bank, hair salon, nail salon, an optician and income tax preparation service inside the store. Those service providers are independent of Walmart and do not follow the same operating hours as Walmart stores. Check with your local store to see if those service providers will be closed on Presidents Day.

What Days is Walmart Closed?

Walmart only closes on Christmas each year. On Thanksgiving, some Walmarts close their doors and reopen in the evening for early Black Friday sales. These are the only two days that Walmart has an altered schedule.

When Will Walmart Stores be Open?

Since Walmart will not be closed on Monday, February 19 in observance of Presidents Day, none of the days around it will be affected by the holiday either. They will be open the following hours:
Sunday, February 18, 2018: Regular hours
Monday, February 19, 2018: Regular hours
Tuesday, February 20, 2018: Regular hours

Is There a Presidents Day Sale?

Walmart does have a sale on most federal holidays. Presidents Day is a time of year where many mattresses go on sale as well as other household needs. There may also be other sales on Valentine’s Day merchandise. Of course, be sure to check your weekly flyer for deals closer to you.

Will Walmart.com be Available?

Walmart.com will be fully operational on Presidents Day. In fact, Walmart.com is operational every day, but sometimes delivery around holidays can be messed up. Because of this, you will want to plan for post offices to be closed on Monday, February 19.

Federal holidays can be tricky. Many people get confused as to what is open and what is closed, especially on a day like Presidents Day. If you are wondering about a specific store near you, you can always give them a call and find out whether or not they will be open on Monday. You can also usually check their hours online.

Below you’ll find a list of stores that are open and closed on Monday, May 25, 2015, for the observation of Memorial Day.

While there will be some opportunities to save money with all the sales that will be taking place, remember that this saving is only beneficial to you if you were already planning on buying what’s being offered. If you end up buying products that you wouldn’t normally have purchased just because of the sale, then it wasn’t a deal no matter how much of a discount you got.

If you do go shopping as part of your celebration of the day, consider putting together a care package for troops who are stationed overseas. They would appreciate the gesture, and it would be a wonderful gesture for the meaning of the holiday.

What Stores are Open on Mother’s Day 2015?

May 9, 2014 By Jeffrey Strain 1 Comment

This post has been updated for Mother’s Day 2015 (May 10)

There is nothing more frustrating than when you go to a store only to find that it’s closed on that particular day. In many instances, the reason for the closure is that it happens to be a holiday that you may have forgotten about, or you simply didn’t think that the store would be closed on that particular holiday. With the holiday landing on May 10 in 2015, you might be wondering, “What stores are open on Mothers Day?” Here is a list of stores, and whether or not they will be open for Mother’s Day.

Walmart

Walmart is open on Mother’s Day. If you happen to need to purchase a last-minute Mother’s Day gift, or you simply want to do your regular Sunday shopping, the Walmart in your area will be open.

Target

Target is open on Mother’s Day. All Target stores across the US will be open their normal Sunday schedule hours. If you need to purchase anything from your local Target store, it will be open on May 10.

Costco

Costco is open on Mother’s Day. Costco only has six days during the year when it isn’t open. Mother’s Day is not one of these. All Costco stores will be open from 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM.

Flower Shops

Flower shops are open on Mother’s Day. Most flower shops are independently owned and set their own business hours. If the flower shop is usually open on Sunday, then it will be open on Mother’s Day. Even if the shop isn’t normally open on Sunday, it might be open on May 10. This is because Mother’s Day is one of the busiest days for flower shops. If you are uncertain, your best bet is to call the local shop to confirm whether or not they will be open.

Chocolate Shops

Chocolate shops are open on Mother’s Day. Premium chocolate makers such as See’s Candy and Godiva retail outlets will be open during their normal business hours. This usually includes hours on Sunday. If you have a local independent chocolate store, they will most likely be open for Mother’s Day since this is a big day to purchase chocolate. If your local chocolate shop is not normally open on Sunday, you should call them to confirm whether or not they will be open.

Grocery Stores

All grocery stores are open on Mother’s Day. While there are a few days during the year when grocery stores will be closed, Mother’s Day is not one of these. You can do your regular Sunday grocery shopping if that is part of your routine, or you can stop in to get some last-minute Mother’s Day gifts if you happen to forget the holiday. All major grocery stores such as Kroger, Publix, Safeway, Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods will be open. Even local, independently owned grocery stores should be open if they are regularly open for business on Sundays.

Drug Stores

National drug store chains are open on Mother’s Day. All three of the major drugstore chains (CVS, Rite-Aid and Walgreens) are open for business on Mother’s Day. If you do shopping at a local or independently owned drugstores, and that drugstore is usually open on Sunday, then it will almost certainly be open on May 10. If your local drugstore is not open on most Sundays, then it will likely be closed on this day.

Restaurants

In most cases, yes, restaurants are open on Mother’s Day. If the restaurant that you want to go to is usually open on Sunday, then it is likely going to be open on Mother’s Day. Depending on the restaurant, there may be a special menu for brunch. Your best bet is to call the restaurant to confirm whether or not they are open, and whether or not they are serving a special menu on this day.

Gas Stations

Gas stations are open on Mother’s Day. Any gas station that is normally open on Sunday for business will be open on May 10. If it happens that a local gas station is closed on this day, there should be plenty of other gas stations open in the area where you will be able to fuel up your car.

Banks and Credit Unions

The majority of banks and credit unions are closed on Mother’s Day. Most banks and credit unions are closed on Sunday. Since Mother’s Day happens to land on a Sunday each year, these institutions are closed as part of their normal business hours. The exceptions are TD Bank and Citizens Bank (Walmart locations) which are open on most Sundays. There are a number of regional credit unions that are open on Sunday as well (list here). These will be open on Mother’s Day as well.

While many of the bank and credit union branches will not be open, ATMs and websites will be functional on this day. Customers should be able to do many of the basic financial transactions through these two resources. If you do a transaction through an ATM or through the online website, it’s important to remember that the transaction may not post to your account until the next business day.

Post Offices

Post offices are closed on Mother’s Day. Much like banks and credit unions, most post offices are closed on Sunday as part of their regular business hours. Therefore, you can expect that post offices will be closed on May 10. If you happen to have a post office that has Sunday hours, it’s best to call to confirm that they will be open on this day.
