Presidents Day 2021: What's Open and Closed - A Guide to Operating Hours for Businesses and Services

Presidents Day, celebrated on Monday, February 16 this year, is a federal holiday honoring the birthday of George Washington, the first president of the United States. While officially known as Washington's Birthday, it is commonly referred to as Presidents Day. Many businesses will remain open, including Target, major grocery stores like Aldi and Trader Joe's, fast-food chains such as Burger King and Subway, and CVS Pharmacy locations. However, most banks will be closed, and the U.S. stock market will not be trading on this day.

If you plan to visit a restaurant, it's advisable to check ahead for their operating hours as they may vary by location. The U.S. Postal Service will suspend mail delivery and retail services on Presidents Day, but customers can still access certain services online or through self-service kiosks. UPS and FedEx will continue making deliveries, with FedEx noting potential changes in pickup schedules in some areas. Trading on the New York Stock Exchange will resume on Tuesday, February 17, following the holiday closure.
