(NEXSTAR) — Labor Day, the unofficial end of summer is, unfortunately, here. If you’re on the road or missing a cookout ingredient as you celebrate Labor Day, here’s what will – and won’t – be open on September 2.
Right out of the gate, we can say that you won’t be getting any mail on Monday. The U.S. Postal Service observes Labor Day, taking the day off. Most services offered by UPS, FedEx, and Amazon are also unavailable. Banks will close for Labor Day too, but ATMs will, in most cases, still be accessible.
Though you likely won’t be receiving any packages and can’t stop into a bank, many retailers will be open for Labor Day. Hours may vary by location, so it’s best to call ahead or check your store’s hours online before heading out. Pharmacy services in each store may also be unavailable on Labor Day.
Here’s a look at retailers that will be open on Monday:
Albertsons
Big Lots (unless your store recently closed)
Dollar General
Kroger stores
Sprouts
Target
Trader Joe’s

Pharmacies at stores like CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, and Wegmans may have limited hours, or close entirely, on the holiday. Call ahead or check your location’s hours online before trying to pick up a prescription.
Other retailers, including ALDI and Sam’s Club, will be open but with limited hours. Costco stores will be closed.
