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:
Held on the first Monday of September, Labor Day honors the U.S. labor movement. It was made an official federal holiday in 1894.
Because Labor Day is a federal holiday, banks will be closed. You can, however, still use ATM machines to get cash or put money into your account. And online services will be available as well.
City, county, state and federal offices are closed.
Like most retailers, restaurants generally stay open on Labor Day, in case you don’t feel like cooking.
