Memorial Day can be confusing in the United States, what with some stores being closed for the holiday and many others remaining open amid a wild time for travel.

While many Americans enjoy their long weekend away from the city in a quaint or picturesque small town, others might want to use that extra day off from work to finish some tasks — and if you can't go to the store for those tasks, it could ruin your Memorial Day plans.

Every last Monday of May, the United States observes Memorial Day, a holiday dedicated to honor those who died while serving in the military. This year, Memorial Day will take place on Monday, May 29.

If you’re planning to visit some stores, restaurants, malls, or even a government building before taking in a Memorial day parade, make sure you’re informed about the closures or special schedules many businesses might have during that day.

With that in mind, here is everything you need to know about what's open or closed on Memorial Day weekend in the United States.
