Labor Day 2025 falls on Monday, September 1, and while schools, banks, post offices, and the stock market will be closed, many major retailers and grocery stores will keep their doors open for shoppers.
For those planning last-minute errands, Walmart, Target, and most supermarket chains will be available, though some stores will run on modified schedules.
Walmart confirmed that all of its stores will be open on Labor Day. Most locations will follow regular hours, from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., giving customers plenty of time to grab essentials or shop holiday deals, Today said.
A company spokesperson reminded shoppers to check their local store's website for any updates before heading out.
Target is also welcoming customers on the holiday. Stores are expected to operate during their normal hours, though pharmacy counters inside may close earlier depending on location.
Other big-box retailers, including Home Depot, Lowe's, Macy's, Kohl's, Nordstrom, and JCPenney, will remain open as well. Some are even promoting sales on appliances, electronics, and back-to-school items.
