Labor Day Closures: What's Open and Closed on September 7

As Americans wrap up their summer trips and students get back to school, Labor Day weekend can feel like the last hurrah after months of hot weather and relaxation. The first Monday in September celebrates the American labor movement and the millions of workers who contribute to the US economy.

The federal holiday, which falls on Sept. 7 this year, means government offices and banks will be closed. However, plenty of stores will be open and offer shopping opportunities for those looking to snag a Labor Day deal.

For grocery shopping, Costco warehouses will be closed, while Aldi locations will operate on limited hours depending on the location. Most Whole Foods locations will be open, but customers should check the hours for their local store. Trader Joe's and stores under Kroger - including Kroger, Pick 'n Save, Harris Teeter, Fred Meyer, and Ralphs - will also operate per their usual hours.

Most major retailers like Walmart and Target will be open on Labor Day, as well as Home Depot for those looking for deals on power tools and appliances. Walgreens stores will follow regular hours on Monday, but most of its pharmacies will be closed, with some exceptions.
