Knowing when our favorite places to shop are open is important because, if you're like me, you're quite often racing in just before they close to grab some last-minute things that you need.

That's why it's helpful to know when those stores may be unexpectedly closed, which is what is happening soon with one of the most popular retail chains in the country, and while it's understandable, it may arrive earlier than you'd expect.

Memorial Day is observed in America on the last Monday of May, and it's an extremely important holiday because it's when we honor and remember the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. It's a day of remembrance, often marked by visiting cemeteries, placing flags on graves, and holding ceremonies.

It's also a day when people throughout Wisconsin get together for cookouts and other gatherings, as it's also widely considered the unofficial start of summer.

The earliest possible date for Memorial Day is May 25, and this year's date for the holiday is a close second. If you're planning any type of gathering for Memorial Day, then make sure you're stocked up with everything you need ahead of time because a huge source for groceries and more announced it will be closed on May 26, while also letting customers know all the other days they will be closed in 2025.
