Labor Day Shopping: What's Open and Closed at Walmart, Costco, and Your Favorite Restaurants

 

On Monday, September 2, many services and businesses will observe Labor Day, meaning some will be closed while others remain open. Banks and post offices, for instance, will not be operating in observance of the holiday, and the stock market will also be closed. However, most major restaurant chains, grocery stores, and retail outlets will continue to serve customers. 


Walmart, Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, and Target are among the businesses that will stay open on Labor Day, allowing people to shop and dine as usual. A notable exception is Costco, which will close its warehouses for the holiday.


Labor Day is a federal holiday dedicated to honoring the "social and economic achievements of American workers." Its origins date back to the late 19th century when labor activists advocated for a day to recognize the significant contributions workers have made to the country's strength, prosperity, and well-being. The first Labor Day was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City. By 1894, 23 states had recognized the holiday, and President Grover Cleveland officially made the first Monday in September a national holiday on June 28, 1894.


So, as you plan for Labor Day, here’s a quick guide on what will be open and what will be closed this year.

  TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Bill O'Brien, while tempering expectations, couldn't hide the significance of what was a monumental first victory of the 2024 season for Boston College—and a defining moment for the start of his tenure as head coach. In an unexpected turn of events, Treshaun Ward played a pivotal role in the Eagles' 28-13 triumph over No. 10 Florida State. Ward, a native of Tampa who previously played for Florida State from 2019 to 2022, showcased his skills against his former team, amassing 138 total yards, including a crucial 13-yard touchdown reception.

This game marked a powerful debut for O'Brien, who took the helm in mid-February following Jeff Hafley’s departure to become the Green Bay Packers' defensive coordinator. O’Brien expressed his pride in his team’s res...

This decisive play was set up by a crucial 20-yard pass from Miller Moss to Kyron Hudson, coupled with a targeting penalty against LSU that positioned USC for the game-winning score.

Moss's efficiency, completing 27 of 36 passes, was key in leading USC to victory. This win sends a powerful message as USC embarks on its first season in...
