Memorial Day Grocery Store Hours 2020: When Do Publix, Walmart, Target and More Open?
Memorial Day is today, May 25. As a federal holiday, some services like banks and post offices will be closed. However, grocery stores are typically open, although some are operating with modified hours.
Memorial Day was officially declared a federal holiday in 1971, having been celebrated in some form since the late 1860s. It is a day for people across the U.S. to honor and remember the men and women who have died while serving in the Armed Forces.
While Memorial Day may be a little different this year, Americans can still remember those who have died by observing a minute's silence at 3 p.m. local time.

Some grocery stores have adjusted their hours. Kroger, Publix, Sam's Club, Target, and Walmart have all modified their opening times with some closing earlier to allow staff more time for cleaning.
