A recent addition to the list of national holidays, Juneteenth National Independence Day won’t stop the money from flowing. So Publix, Walmart, Target, CVS and South Florida shopping malls will be open for business on Thursday.

Costco is even open — and if Costco is open on a holiday, everybody is open.

But some public services acknowledge Juneteenth by closing.

Check the list below for what’s running and what’s not on June 19:

Mass transit

Miami-Dade: Normal weekday services for Metrobus, Metromover, Metrorail and MetroConnect.

Broward: Regular weekday service schedule. The Northeast Transit Center in Pompano Beach will be closed. The Broward Main Terminal in Fort Lauderdale and the Lauderhill Transit Center will be staffed.

Tri-Rail: Regular weekday schedule.
