What opens and what closes during Columbus Day in the US? Hours of supermarkets, banks and more

() — Columbus Day, and now Indigenous Peoples Day, will be celebrated on Monday, October 10 this year, and while some will have the day off from work or school, others may be wondering what errands they can run or what movies to watch. .

The federal holiday is always observed on the second Monday in October.

President Joe Biden formally recognized Indigenous Peoples Day last year by signing a proclamation which states that federal policies “systematically sought to assimilate and displace native peoples and eradicate native cultures.”

This is what will be open and closed on Monday.

Financial institutions

Although many banks will be closed, some, notably TD Bank, will remain open. The two largest banks in the country, Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase, will not open on Monday.

The New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq will be trading. The Federal Reserve banks will be closed.

Mail offices

The United States Postal Service will be closed and will not deliver mail or packages.

However, all FedEx services will be operational, including Express and Ground shipping. UPS will also be open as usual.

Retail sale

Major retailers and grocery stores will be open tomorrow, including Walmart, Target and other major chains. Be sure to check with local retailers to see if they will be taking the holiday.

government institutions

Government buildings will be closed Monday for the federal holiday, including the DMV, libraries and government offices.
