Store, Mall, and Private Business Closings Today (March 2, 2026)

As of the morning of Monday, March 2, 2026, the U.S. Northeast is entering a recovery phase following the historic “Leap Week” Nor’easter that struck late February. While most major metropolitan areas have lifted primary travel bans, secondary roads and transit systems remain on modified schedules as crews work to clear record-setting snowfall (up to 36 inches in parts of New England and Rhode Island).

Below is the status report for major retail and financial operations for today.
