Labor Day 2025 Closures: What Was Open and Shut Yesterday?

As Labor Day 2025 concluded yesterday, millions of Americans observed the federal holiday, marking the unofficial end of summer. Many businesses adjusted their hours, with most major retailers and grocery chains remaining open, albeit some with modified schedules. However, a significant number of essential services, including most major banks and the U.S. Postal Service, were closed.
For those who needed last-minute picnic supplies or a coffee fix, establishments like Walmart, Home Depot, Kroger, Trader Joe’s, and Starbucks generally operated. Walmart and Home Depot maintained regular hours, while some grocery stores like Kroger, Stop & Shop, Wegmans, and Whole Foods welcomed customers, potentially with limited hours. Trader Joe’s also observed regular business hours, and Starbucks locations were open, though checking local hours was advised.
Conversely, financial institutions such as Bank of America, Citi, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo were closed, reflecting the federal holiday status. The U.S. Postal Service also ceased operations for the day, and both Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange observed closures, with trading set to resume today. Costco was notably closed for the entire day. Shipping services like FedEx and UPS had modified operations, with no standard pickup or delivery services, though some office outlets and specialized services remained available.
Numerous fast-food chains and restaurants, including McDonald’s, Starbucks, Burger King, and Olive Garden, were open, though customers were encouraged to verify local hours. Other retail giants like Dollar General, Kohl’s, Macy’s, and TJ Maxx also remained open, with some, like Sam’s Club, closing earlier than usual.
