If you're planning some last-minute shopping, you're in luck. Major retailers like Walmart, Target, and Kroger will be operating as usual. Most Walgreens and CVS stores will maintain their regular hours, but it's a good idea to check with your local store, as some pharmacy hours may vary. However, please note that the wholesale giant Costco will be closed for the day.
Post Office: No Mail Delivery
The United States Postal Service will be taking the day off on Labor Day, so there will be no mail delivery. UPS will also be closed for the holiday, except for its Express Critical services. FedEx, on the other hand, will continue its operations through its premium FedEx Custom Critical service, while FedEx Office locations will have adjusted hours.
Banks: Closed for the Day
Labor Day is one of eleven federal banking holidays, so banks will not be open for business. However, you can still use ATMs and access online banking services.
Stock Market: A Day Off
Investors take note: the US stock market will be closed on Labor Day. Both NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange will observe a trading holiday.
Government Offices: Shut for the Day
Federal offices, government buildings, and post offices will be closed on Labor Day. This includes institutions like the DMV and local libraries. State and local courts will also be on holiday, so make sure to plan accordingly.
