Banks and post offices will be closed on Labor Day, Monday, September 2. However, most large restaurant, supermarket, and retail shop companies will be open. The stock market will likewise be closed.
Walmart, Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, and Target, among others, will be open on the federal holiday this year. Costco is one noteworthy exception, since its warehouses will be closed on Labor Day.
Labor Day, a federal holiday, commemorates “the social and economic achievements of American workers” and dates back to the late nineteenth century, when labor activists advocated for a federal holiday “to recognize the many contributions workers have made to America’s strength, prosperity, and well-being,” according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
The first Labor Day was observed on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, and by 1894, 23 additional states had accepted the holiday. On June 28, 1894, President Grover Cleveland signed legislation designating the first Monday in September each year as a national holiday.
