For many Americans, Memorial Day means spending the day outside at a backyard barbecue or at the beach, if it’s warm enough. For those hosting a gathering, it may also entail last-minute trips to the grocery store to stock up on food, or a quick stop at a local retailer to pick up a gift for friends whose party you’re attending. Luckily, most stores will be open on Memorial Day, with a few exceptions.
