While many restaurants and entertainment venues continue their regular hours, confirming local schedules is essential. This guide helps you make the most of your holiday by planning your errands and activities accordingly.
Labor Day 2025: What’s Open and What’s Closed
As Labor Day 2025 rolls around on September 1, millions of Americans will be taking the day off, celebrating the end of summer and typically enjoying some much-deserved downtime. Whether you’re planning a backyard barbecue, heading out to do some shopping, or just lounging at home, it can be helpful to know what’s open and what’s closed on this federal holiday.
Open for Business
Great news for those of you who are looking to shop! Most retailers, grocery chains, and other businesses will remain open on Labor Day. This includes popular spots like Walmart, which will be welcoming shoppers from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. local time, giving you plenty of time to grab those last-minute items for your holiday festivities.
Most major grocery stores will also be operating, including names like Kroger, Stop & Shop, Wegmans, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe’s. Keep in mind that operating hours might vary by location, so it’s a good idea to check ahead!
If you’re a coffee lover, you’ll be glad to know that Starbucks stores will be open on Labor Day. However, their hours might differ, so again, checking local hours is wise.
On the logistics front, both FedEx and UPS will not be offering package deliveries on Labor Day. Their offices may be open but with modified hours, so plan accordingly if you need to visit or send something.
Closed for the Holiday
On the flip side, a number of major banks, including Bank of America, Citi, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo, will be closed for the day. Don’t worry though—while their branches may be shut, online banking and ATMs will still be up and running, allowing you to manage transactions from the comfort of your home.
The U.S. Postal Service will also take the day off, which means no mail will be picked up or dropped off on Labor Day. If you were hoping to send a letter or receive that online order, you’ll have to wait till Tuesday!
Also closed will be the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, with trading set to resume on Tuesday. If you’re used to checking on stock markets daily, make sure you adjust your expectations for a brief pause!
Health and Safety Services
When it comes to pharmacies, Walgreens will follow regular store hours, but keep in mind that most pharmacy services might be closed unless you’re at a select location or a 24-hour store. On the other hand, CVS will be open, but service hours may differ, so it’s a good idea to confirm locally.
Government and Courts
If you need to conduct any business with state or federal offices, make sure to plan accordingly as state and local courts, administrative offices, and government buildings will be closed for Labor Day.
A Quick Reminder
Many restaurants and entertainment venues will operate normally, but again, checking those local business hours is key as they can vary. So, whether you’re planning to grocery shop, grab a coffee, or enjoy a fun outing, make sure to check before you go. This way, you’re all set to soak up every moment of this lovely holiday!
Enjoy your Labor Day 2025, and make the most out of this time as summer bids farewell!
