Are Grocery Stores Open on Labor Day? Hours for Costco, Kroger, and More

play

If you’re looking to do some grocery shopping over Labor Day weekend, you’re in luck, as most national grocery chains are open on the holiday.

Businesses like Walmart and Kroger will be open on Monday, September 2, while others, like Costco, will remain closed for the holiday.

The same cannot be said for banks, post offices and mail order stores, most of which are closed on Labor Day.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, this federal holiday “celebrates the social and economic achievements of American workers” and traces its origins to the late 1800s, when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday “in recognition of the many contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of America.”

The first Labor Day was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, and by 1894, 23 more states had adopted the holiday. President Grover Cleveland signed a law making the first Monday in September of each year a national holiday on June 28, 1894.
