Introduction: What’s open

That doesn’t mean Americans don’t
have to do tasks like going to the bank
or buying last-minute groceries at the supermarket.

The working days and holidays
of Labor Day 2024 are as follows:

retail store

Most people who have to go to the
store are probably lucky. Most stores
under the Kroger umbrella – Kroger, Ralphs,

Dillons, Smith’s, King Soopers, Fry’s, QFC,
City Market, Owens, Jay-C, Pay Less,
Baker’s, Gervez, Harris Teeter, Pick ‘n Save,

Metro Market , Mariano’s , Fred Meyer
and Food 4 Less are open as usual.
Major retailers like Walmart (WMT)

and Target will be open as usual.
Most CVS Pharmacy (CVS) locations are
open, but some local locations may have

reduced hours. Walgreens stores will be
open as usual on Labor Day, but most
pharmacies will remain closed, with the exception

of convenience stores and some pharmacies.
Specifically, the retailer Costco (COST) is set to close.

Post Office

Don’t expect to send mail through the
US Postal Service on Monday, as delivery
service will be closed. All UPS services except
Express Critical will be closed and a limited

number of locations will remain open. For
special shipments, only FedEx Custom Critical
premium service and FedEx Office service
will be available during modified hours.

Banks

Labor Day is one of 11 federal holidays,
so banks are closed. However, ATMs
and online banking services are available.

The American stock market will also
be in the dark. There is no trading on
NASDAQ or the New York Stock Exchange.

the government

Federal agencies and government
buildings will be closed Monday – think DMV
and local library. State and

local courts will also be closed.
This does not apply to banks, post office
s and postal shops. Most of these

services are closed on Labor Day.
The federal holiday celebrates the “social
and economic achievements of American

workers” and dates back to the late 19th century,
when labor activists proposed a federal
holiday “in recognition of the many contributions

made by working people to the strength,
prosperity and well-being of America.”
.” America”, “United States”, according
to the US Department of Labor.
