As the summer season draws to a close, millions of Americans are gearing up to celebrate Labor Day, a federal holiday that honors the contributions and achievements of the country’s workforce. While many people will be enjoying their downtime, others may need to make a quick trip to the store for a picnic or other celebration. Fortunately, most retailers, grocery chains, and other businesses will remain open, although some may have limited hours.
Store Hours on Labor Day
For those planning to shop on Labor Day, it’s essential to know which stores will be open and which will be closed. Most Walmart stores across the U.S. will be open during their regular business hours, from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. local time. On the other hand, Costco will be closed on September 1, as indicated by its holiday calendar. Home Depot stores will be open during regular hours, while several major grocery stores, including Kroger, Stop & Shop, Wegmans, and Whole Foods, will also remain open, albeit with limited hours.
Bank and Postal Service Hours
However, not all businesses will be open on Labor Day. Major banks, including Bank of America, Citi, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo, will be closed, as will the U.S. Postal Service. This means that Americans will have to hold off on sending mail on Monday. Additionally, U.S. markets, including the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, will be closed, with trading resuming on Tuesday.
Restaurant and Fast-Food Chain Hours
For those looking to dine out on Labor Day, many fast-food chains and restaurants will be open, although hours may vary depending on location. Some of the popular chains that will be open include Applebee’s, Bahama Breeze, Burger King, Dunkin’, IHOP, KFC, McDonald’s, Olive Garden, Subway, and Wendy’s. It’s always a good idea to check local business hours before heading out.
Other Businesses and Services
In addition to stores and restaurants, some other businesses and services will also be open on Labor Day. These include Dollar General, HomeGoods, Kohl’s, Macy’s, Petco, and Walgreens, although some may have limited hours. FedEx will not be delivering packages on Monday, although its office outlets will be open with modified hours. UPS will also have no pickup or delivery service on Labor Day, with select locations closed.
