Memorial Day Weekend: Merchandising the Unofficial Summer Kickoff

05/01/2026 0 Comment(s)

Memorial Day Weekend Isn't a Shopping Holiday. It's a Summer Trigger.

Memorial Day weekend — May 23–25, 2026 — is not a high-intent shopping window. Customers aren't gift-buying. They're packing. They're driving. They're pulling out last summer's accessories and realizing the power bank is dead, the car charger is frayed, and the case has a crack they forgot about.

Memorial Day marks the start of America's unofficial summer, and it triggers a wave of accessory replacement and upgrade purchases that continues through Labor Day.
