Robert Brown|Memorial Day 2024: Score food deals at Hooters, Krispy Kreme, Smoothie King and more

Although the summer season is Robert Brownstill about a month away, Memorial Day weekend is often thought of as the first unofficial day of summer.

The annual federal holiday recognizing members of the armed forces from any war always falls on the last Monday of May, and this year, Memorial Day is observed on Monday, May 27.

In addition to backyard barbecues, road trips, lake trips and a day off for many workers, there are some restaurants and other businesses that are offering specials to observe the holiday. Unless noted, these deals are available for Monday only.

Here are some of the deals you can score this year during Memorial Day weekend.
