US Labor Day Celebrations Kick Off Amid Store Closures and Schedules

Labor Day is an annual celebration of American workers' economic accomplishments. It's observed on the first Monday in September.

To help people plan for the holiday, we've compiled a list of what will be open and closed in various areas.

Federal, state, and local government offices, as well as the US Post Office, bank branches, the New York Stock Exchange, and Nasdaq, will all be closed on Labor Day.

Meanwhile, most major retailers and restaurant chains will remain open. This includes Walmart, Target, CVS (with reduced hours at some locations), Walgreens (pharmacies only closing except for 24-hour locations), Aldi, Belk, Home Depot, Lowe's, Best Buy, Kohl's, Kroger, and Sam's Club.

Some businesses may have modified or limited hours on Labor Day, so it's best to check with local stores before heading out. This applies to restaurants as well, like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, which have adjusted their schedules for the holiday.
