Juneteenth, a celebration of the end of slavery in the U.S., has been recognized as a federal holiday since 2021. All non-essential federal offices are closed Monday, as are banks, the stock market and the U.S. Postal Service.
Although most private-sector employers also recognize the holiday, retail and grocery stores largely remain open for business. Here are the stores that are open and closed on Monday.
