Shoppers wanting to take advantage of Memorial Day sales or just looking to pick up a few groceries are in luck.

Unlike Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving, most major retailers are open Monday with one super-sized exception – Costco Wholesale clubs are closed Monday like they are for other holidays, including New Year's Day, Easter, Independence Day and Labor Day.

Some stores, including many Aldi locations, will have special holiday hours and many pharmacies will be closed.

For some Payless ShoeSource and Fred's stores, it's the last weekend to shop liquidation sales. Many Payless stores and 159 Fred's stores included in a round of closings announced April 11 are expected to shutter by the end of May.

If you're not in the mood to fire up the grill, most restaurants will be open. For stores and restaurants, hours can vary so to be on the safe side check with your closest location.
