Labor Day might technically be a holiday for the working class, but we sure do a lot of home repairs on that day off (well, before the barbeque, at least).
Fortunately, most home-improvement stores are open that day—and usually have some pretty good sales going on. Some retailers are closed, though. And if you’ve got financial business or want to get a license renewed on Monday, you’re going to have a hard time.
Here’s a look at who’s open and closed on Labor Day 2025:
What is Labor Day?
Held on the first Monday of September, Labor Day honors the U.S. labor movement. It was made an official federal holiday in 1894.

Don’t expect any mail or packages to arrive. The U.S. Postal Service does not operate on Labor Day and UPS and FedEx will both suspend deliveries that day as well.
