Is the UPS Store open on Juneteenth? Each location decides for itself, because every store is a franchise that posts its own hours. UPS lists Juneteenth, Friday, June 19, 2026, as a day when pickup and delivery are available.
The next Juneteenth falls on Saturday, June 19, 2027. Federal offices observe it on Friday, June 18, 2027. UPS has not published a 2027 schedule yet, so treat any 2027 claim as unconfirmed.
Is the UPS Store open on Juneteenth? What decides it
Retail locations are independently owned and operated by franchisees. The owner picks the opening hours and the services on offer. That choice applies to holidays too.
A store that is open on a normal Friday may keep its usual hours. It may also shorten them or close. No national rule forces one answer for every town.
The only reliable source is the page for your own store. Search your address on theupsstore.com and read the hours posted there.
For a general walkthrough of that check, see whether the UPS Store is open today. The same steps work for any holiday.
Dates to plan around
Juneteenth is a federal holiday on June 19. When it lands on a weekend, federal offices observe it on a nearby weekday. The two dates you need are below.
| Year | Date | Day | Federal observance (OPM) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | June 19 | Friday | Friday, June 19 (already passed) |
| 2027 | June 19 | Saturday | Friday, June 18 |
The 2027 date creates two days to think about: the Friday observance and the Saturday itself. Our page on Saturday hours at the UPS Store explains how the weekend pattern works.
What is open and what is not
Several different things share one brand name here, and each follows its own rules. So, is the UPS Store open on Juneteenth? It depends on which row of this table you mean.
The carrier, the store and the government do not coordinate their holiday calendars. A yes for one row never carries over to the next row.
| Service | Juneteenth status | Who decides |
|---|---|---|
| UPS pickup and delivery, June 19, 2026 | Listed as available on the UPS 2026 holiday schedule | UPS |
| UPS pickup and delivery, June 2027 | Not published yet | UPS |
| The UPS Store counter | Varies by location | Each franchise owner |
| Notary, passport photos, copying and shipping at the store | Vary by location and staff on duty | Each franchise owner |
| USPS Post Offices and regular mail, June 19, 2026 | Postal holiday on the USPS events calendar | USPS |
| Federal government offices | Observed holiday | Federal law and OPM |
The UPS 2026 holiday schedule treats Juneteenth differently from Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, which show no pickup or delivery. Juneteenth shows service as available, and the only 2027 date on that page so far is New Year’s Day.
Our page on whether UPS is open on Juneteenth covers the carrier side in detail.
How to check your store in four steps
- Find your location. Use the store locator on theupsstore.com and open the page for the exact address you plan to visit.
- Read the hours. Look for a holiday note beside the weekly hours. If the page shows only regular hours, treat the holiday as unconfirmed.
- Call the store. A short call settles it. Ask about the service you need, not only the opening time.
- Set a backup. Pick a second location or a plan for the next business day, in case the first answer is no.
Hours online are set by the store, so staff can also tell you whether a service runs that day. Services such as notary, passport photos, shipping and copying vary by location even on an ordinary day.
A worked example
Say you need to know whether the store is open on Juneteenth because you need a notarized form on Friday, June 18, 2027. You find the store page and it lists regular hours with no holiday note. That does not prove the store is open.
Call and ask two things: will the store be open that day, and will a notary be on site. If either answer is no, move the task to Thursday, June 17, or Monday, June 21.
What if the store is closed or you cannot reach it
You still have options if a shipping deadline is close. Match the task to the option.
- You have a prepaid label. The package can wait for the next business day at a store. UPS does not publish a holiday list of drop box availability, so check the location details first.
- You need a label. Labels can be created online through your UPS account. A closed counter does not stop you from preparing the package.
- You need a store service. Notary and passport photos depend on the staff on site. Plan them for the business day before or after.
Before you commit to a plan, run the date through the postal holiday checker. It shows how the major carriers handle the day.
Self service and online options
UPS does not publish a holiday list of self service or drop box availability, so no one can promise a particular option on June 19. What the carrier does state is that store services vary by location. That includes shipping, copying, notary and passport photos.
If your task is only a label, you can often prepare it before you leave home. Create the shipment online with your UPS account, print or save the label, and then hand over the sealed package when a counter or drop point is open. This keeps a short or closed holiday from blocking the whole job.
Does the holiday count against your delivery time?
UPS counts business days as Monday to Friday, except seven named holidays in its 2026 tariff. Juneteenth is not one of those seven. A Ground package that UPS lists at 1 to 5 business days therefore does not pause its count for Juneteenth under the tariff rules.
Take a Ground package you hand over on Wednesday, June 16, 2027. The transit count runs on business days, and Saturday, June 19, 2027 is not a Ground business day anyway. Check the exact service and date in the UPS tracking details, because the carrier has not published its 2027 holiday schedule.
If a package is waiting at a UPS location
A holiday can leave a package sitting while you wait for the right counter to open. UPS makes up to three delivery attempts. A package held at an Access Point stays up to 7 calendar days.
If you need to redirect a shipment instead, Delivery Intercept costs $21 online or $27 by phone. A return label costs $1.15. These are carrier fees, not store fees, and they apply on any day of the year.
Delivery is a separate question
A store opening or closing says nothing about whether a truck reaches your door. UPS listed pickup and delivery as available on Juneteenth 2026, and that is a carrier decision. For the delivery side, read whether UPS delivers on Juneteenth.
Friday and Saturday in 2027
Friday, June 19, 2026 has passed, so the planning window is 2027. UPS Saturday delivery is limited to a few services, such as 2nd Day Air, 3 Day Select and Next Day Air, and the shipper pays for it. That rule is part of the normal UPS schedule, not a holiday rule.
| Day in 2027 | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Thursday, June 17 | Regular weekday. The store follows its usual posted hours. |
| Friday, June 18 | Federal observance day. Check your store page for any change. |
| Saturday, June 19 | The holiday itself. UPS has not published its status. |
| Monday, June 21 | Regular weekday. The store follows its usual posted hours. |
These rows describe the calendar, not a promise from any store. For a typical closing time, see what time the UPS Store closes.
Bottom line
In short, is the UPS Store open on Juneteenth? Your own location decides, so read its page or call. UPS has not announced its 2027 status.
Check again closer to the date, and keep a backup plan for the next business day. The Postal Service takes the opposite line from UPS: Juneteenth, Friday, June 19, 2026, sits on the USPS postal holiday calendar, so Post Offices close that day.
To see how that affects mail and pickups, read whether USPS is open on Juneteenth.
