As we discussed above, it’s a question that many companies – particularly retailers – ask themselves each year. Some choose to close in order to have the time on that day to honor and mourn military personnel who have died in battle, while others close so that they can also spend time with family and friends. Other shops prefer to remain open to make their goods and services available to their customers – even if it’s for just limited hours that day. We have free Memorial Day templates for both closed and open options.
