Labor Day 2025 Observed Nationwide with Major Store Closures, Grocery Openings

Labor Day 2025, observed on Monday, September 1, honors the contributions of American workers and marks the unofficial end of summer with many celebrations and closures across the country. Major retail chains such as Walmart, Target, Kroger, Publix, and Whole Foods will generally remain open, often with normal or slightly modified hours, while Costco warehouses will be closed to give employees the day off. Government offices, banks, schools, and the U.S. Postal Service will be closed, with no mail delivery on the holiday. In Reno and other areas, local variations exist, but many grocery and retail stores like Trader Joe's, Sam’s Club, PetSmart, and others will operate. Labor Day weekend in Northeast Ohio features numerous events including the Cleveland National Air Show, Cleveland Guardians baseball games, street festivals, Oktoberfest, and the Black College Football Hall of Fame Classic. Americans nationwide are encouraged to check local business hours as some smaller or regional stores may have reduced or altered schedules during the holiday.
