Presidents’ Day used to be called “George Washington’s Birthday,” and while the first U.S. President is on the dollar, dollars and profits won’t stop for Monday’s holiday.

You might not know whether you’re working or not. But know that no matter your favorite mall (Aventura? Dadeland? Sawgrass? Brickell City Centre?) or your top spot for buying groceries (Walmart? Publix? The Fresh Market? Costco?), they’ll be open for the acceptance of your bills bearing the faces of Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Jackson on Presidents’ Day.

But two parts of the private sector won’t be open and certain public services won’t be offered.
