If a Target run is part of your long-weekend plans, you’re in luck, Target stores across the U.S. are open on Memorial Day 2025 – but before you toss on your flip-flops and head out for last-minute barbecue supplies or summer gear, there are a few things to know about store hours, sales, and how to shop smart.
Target’s Memorial Day 2025 Hours
Target stores will be open on Monday, May 26, but store hours vary by location. Most outlets are expected to operate on regular hours – typically 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. – but some locations may open late or close early depending on regional demand and staffing.

What to Expect: Deals, Essentials & Summer Stock-Ups
Memorial Day weekend is a huge moment for savings at Target, and this year is no different. Here’s what’s drawing shoppers in:
- Up to 30% off patio and backyard furniture
- Buy one, get one 50% off on select swimwear and summer clothing
- Big discounts on grills and outdoor cooking tools
- Home deals on kitchen appliances, bedding, and décor
- Seasonal grocery sales for BBQs and picnics – think soda packs, chips, condiments, and pre-marinated meats

Target Shopping Tips for Memorial Day
To make the most of your Target visit this holiday:
- Go early to beat the crowds – Memorial Day mornings are typically calmer than late afternoons.
- Check online availability for big-ticket items like grills, furniture, or tech gear before visiting in-store.
- Use Drive Up or Order Pickup if you want to avoid browsing – it’s fast and free, and stores will be fully staffed to handle holiday demand.
- Bring your own bags – a growing number of locations are phasing out plastic bags.
What Target Won’t Do on Memorial Day
While the store is open, don’t expect special extended hours or doorbuster-style events. Target typically runs steady promotions throughout the weekend rather than a one-day frenzy.
Also note: Target pharmacy counters may operate on reduced hours or be closed, depending on staffing – call ahead if you need to pick up prescriptions.
Summary: Yes, Target’s Open – Plan Ahead
Whether you’re picking up sunscreen, stocking up on snacks, or grabbing summer essentials, Target is open and ready on Memorial Day. Just be sure to check your local store hours, use digital tools to streamline your visit, and take advantage of the weekend’s best deals.
