This report delineates the operational variations of major retail and pharmaceutical entities during the Memorial Day observance in the United States and the late May bank holiday in the United Kingdom.

本報告詳細闡述了美國陣亡將士紀念日及英國5月下旬銀行假期期間，主要零售與藥品實體的營運變化。

The operational status of U.S. retailers is primarily influenced by the federal status of Memorial Day, a day designated for the commemoration of deceased military personnel. Institutional closures are observed among government agencies, banking entities, and postal services. Within the private sector, Costco maintains a policy of nationwide closure. Conversely, Walmart, Target, Kroger, and Home Depot maintain standard operational hours, the latter leveraging the holiday's correlation with increased home improvement activity. Aldi and various pharmacy counters, including those at Publix and Walgreens, implement reduced schedules. Furthermore, the availability of alcohol sales is contingent upon regional legislative frameworks, with state-controlled entities in jurisdictions such as Alabama, Georgia, and Ohio typically remaining closed.

美國零售商的營運狀況主要受到陣亡將士紀念日此聯邦假期的影響，該日旨在紀念陣亡軍人。政府機關、銀行實體及郵政服務均會關閉。在私營部門中，Costco 維持全國關閉的政策。相反地，Walmart、Target、Kroger 及 Home Depot 則維持標準營業時間，後者利用了假期與家居修繕活動增加的相關性。Aldi 及包括 Publix 與 Walgreens 在內的各藥局櫃台則實施縮短營業時間。此外，酒精銷售的可用性取決於區域立法框架，在阿拉巴馬州、喬治亞州及俄亥俄州等由州政府控制的實體通常維持關閉。

Simultaneously, the United Kingdom's retail landscape exhibits a bifurcated operational strategy for the bank holiday. Large-scale supermarkets, including Tesco, Sainsbury's, and Morrisons, generally implement early closures, often terminating operations by 18:00 or 20:00. However, convenience-oriented formats, such as Tesco Express, Sainsbury's Local, and Co-op, maintain standard or 24-hour availability. Regional variations are evident within the Lidl chain, where stores in Scotland and London maintain standard hours, while those in Wales and outside the M25 perimeter operate on a restricted schedule. M&S and Waitrose exhibit store-specific variability, with smaller outlets typically maintaining standard operations while larger formats reduce hours.

與此同時，英國的零售版圖在銀行假期展現出分叉的營運策略。包括 Tesco、Sainsbury's 及 Morrisons 在的大型超市通常實施提前關閉，經常於 18:00 或 20:00 停止營運。然而，便利導向的格式，如 Tesco Express、Sainsbury's Local 及 Co-op，則維持標準或 24 小時供應。Lidl 鏈店內可見明顯的區域差異，蘇格蘭與倫敦的門市維持標準時間，而威爾斯及 M25 環線外的門市則採取限制性時間表。M&S 與 Waitrose 則表現出門市特有的變動，較小的據點通常維持標準營運，而較大型的格式則縮短時間。

Retail availability remains largely accessible across both regions, though specific institutional closures and modified hours necessitate consumer verification via local store locators.

兩地區的零售可用性大致上仍可獲取，但特定的機構關閉與修改後的營業時間，使得消費者需透過當地門店定位器進行核實。
