What stores are open on Labor Day 2023? Here's a list (2024)

Labor Day is here, and if you're like most people, you'll probably spend at least some part of the day shopping.

Even if you aren't taking advantage of the plentiful sales traditionally offered by retailers over the long weekend, you might need a few last-minute essentials for back-to-school or groceries for the week ahead.

Either way, knowing what stores are open on Labor Day 2023 before heading out can save both time and trouble. Because while most retailers and restaurants are open for business on the holiday, there are a handful that aren't, including this major wholesaler.

For the most part, however, you'll find the doors open at your favorite stores — and with any luck, you'll score a few bargains on clothes, tech items, mattresses and more while you're at it.

To ensure you don't miss out, we've gathered a comprehensive list of retail stores, grocers and convenience stops that are open on the holiday, including easy-peasy store locators for each to save you some time, as well how to find individual store hours.

Because while Labor Day is about recognizing a job well done, it's also about taking a break from work — and that's exactly what we hope we've spared you from.

So kick back and enjoy the unofficial last day of summer, because we've got you covered.
