Is McDonald's Open or Closed on Memorial Day? Here Are The Hours
Memorial Day is just around the corner, leaving Americans a chance to make their final preparations for the holiday.
According to PwC's US Consumer Poll on Summer Spending, 34% of adults plan to travel over Memorial Day, expecting to spend an average of $898 on the long weekend, and the generations driving that number are clear.
While Americans will be spending nearly $1,000 for the holiday weekend, not everyone wants to open their wallets.
Twenty-four percent of respondents plan to spend less on travel this summer compared to last year, citing the high cost of everyday expenses and a focus on saving money and paying down debt.
"It's part of the broader K-shaped economic trend shaping the summer's spending picture. But scaling back doesn't mean opting out," PwC said. "The more common strategies are taking shorter trips (45%), spending less on eating out (44%), and traveling closer to home (42%). Only 18% plan to delay or skip certain trips entirely."
Is McDonald's Open on Memorial Day?
The short answer is...yes.

What Is Memorial Day?
Memorial Day and Labor Day act as the unofficial bookends to summer, with the former kicking off warm weather – depending on where you live.
"Memorial Day is an American holiday on the last Monday of May. It honors fallen service members of the U.S. military," the Wounded Warrior Project said about Memorial Day.
"Americans began to recognize Memorial Day in 1868, and the country established it as a federal holiday in 1971. Originally known as ‘Decoration Day,' the holiday started with communities coming together to decorate the graves of those who died during service."
