In the USA, there aren't any public holidays on a national scale on which businesses are required to close. I don't know of any such laws on a state scale, but I am not familiar with the laws of all 50 states. Government agencies tend to close on Federal holidays, and on some state holidays, varying agency by agency and state by state. For private businesses, it is the employer's decision. Retail businesses tend to hold special sales on days when many people will be off from work.
