Memorial Day 2017 is here, which means hours of operation for certain stores may be affected. Is Gamestop included in this?

Memorial Day 2017 has arrived. This is a patriotic holiday, which features plenty of outdoor activities — if the weather permits. Carnivals, barbecues, family gatherings and other activities take place on this day, too. However, it’s also a time for holiday shopping, as it’s a holiday that some stores will use to tempt people with sales. Gamestop may be one of those.

Playing a video game on Memorial Day doesn’t sound like the ideal way to spend that Monday. That means staying indoors, sitting in front of your high-definition television in a closed-off room. It may be better to be outside, but if you’re not doing anything on this holiday, then it may be a safe way of spending the way.

Gamestop is one of the top destinations for video games. It features titles for almost every major console, like Xbox One and Playstation 4. Even those two devices are available there, which can be given as gifts or if you feel like picking up one for yourself.

What if one of your favorite games breaks on Memorial Day? The disc could snap from accidentally stepping on it, or if your pet chews it up. That would warrant a trip to Gamestop, as long as it’s open on the day your game is destroyed.

So will Gamestop be open on Memorial Day? It’s set to be open on Monday, May 29, so check your local store to find out its official hours for the day. That way, you can find out when you can buy the latest video game or console. Maybe a deal or two will be available, which would allow consumers to save some money for the day.
