Most stores stay open on Veterans Day, with government offices and USPS typically closed. Hours vary by location, so it’s best to check your local shops before heading out. Key general trends:

• Big-box retailers and most grocery stores: usually open, though some locations may have reduced or special holiday hours.
• Banks and post offices: generally closed for the federal holiday.
• Shipping carriers: USPS often closed or not delivering, while private couriers like UPS/FedEx usually operate on adjusted schedules.
• National parks and government offices: often closed; stock markets and many large retailers remain open.
• Small businesses: hours vary; some may close or run special hours.

Tips to avoid surprises:

• Check the store’s official website or call ahead for specific hours for your location.
• Some retailers offer Veterans Day deals or discounts; if shopping for deals, verify eligibility at your store.
• If you must mail something, plan around USPS closures and use private carriers where needed.
