What’s Open and Closed on Labor Day 2024?
Labor Day 2024 is just around the corner, falling on Monday, September 2. As the unofficial end of summer, this holiday provides many Americans with a chance to enjoy one last long weekend before the new school year begins and autumn settles in. It's a day that commemorates the contributions of American workers and the labor movement. While many are gearing up for barbecues and beach outings, it's also important to know what services and stores will be open or closed on this holiday.
For those planning a shopping trip, you’ll find that many retail stores will be open as usual. Most stores under the Kroger umbrella—including Kroger itself, as well as Ralphs, Dillons, Smith’s, and others—will operate during their normal hours. Major retailers like Walmart and Target will also be open, so you can easily pick up those last-minute items for your holiday festivities. CVS Pharmacy locations will largely be open, though some might have reduced hours. Walgreens will follow their typical schedule, though many locations may only be open for 24-hour services or select pharmacies.

However, if you're considering a visit to Costco, you’ll need to make other plans. Costco warehouses will be closed on Labor Day, so be sure to stock up before the holiday if you need supplies.
When it comes to postal services, you’ll need to plan accordingly. The United States Postal Service (USPS) will be closed, and FedEx will only operate its Custom Critical service for urgent shipments. UPS will also have limited service, with only Express Critical available and some locations open.
Financial institutions will also observe the holiday. Banks will be closed as Labor Day is one of the 11 federal banking holidays, though ATMs and online banking will still be accessible. Similarly, the U.S. stock markets—NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange—will be closed for the day.
Government offices, including the DMV and local libraries, will be shuttered, along with state and local courts. So, if you have any government-related tasks or appointments, it’s wise to handle them before or after the holiday.
In summary, while many grocery stores and major retailers will be open, services like Costco, postal services, banks, and government offices will be closed. As always, it’s a good idea to check specific hours for local stores and services, as there might be variations. Enjoy the long weekend and make the most of Labor Day!
