Memorial Day 2026 sees Walmart and Target open during normal holiday hours, with most locations typically from around 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. local time, and Starbucks serving customers as well—though hours can vary by store. The holiday, observed on Monday, May 25, has become a major shopping and travel weekend, and Costco remains closed as a notable exception.
