20 Grocery Stores That Are Open on Labor Day

Labor Day weekend signals the unofficial end of summer, with kids heading back to school and the first signs of fall right around the corner. That means there are only a few opportunities left to fire up the grill, especially in the Northern half of the country. When gathering for your final backyard barbecue of the season, it's important to make sure all of the essentials are covered. If the party is low on burger buns, coleslaw, or beverages, a last-second day-of trip to the local supermarket may be in order.

Because Labor Day is a federal holiday, many businesses could be closed or have modified hours, including grocery stores. Before locking in any Labor Day plans, it is a good idea to double-check the hours of these national and large regional stores and see if there are any potential modifications in their operating hours.

One major omission from the list of grocery stores open on Labor Day that shoppers will want to take note of is Costco. The warehouse chain is closed on several holidays throughout the year, with Labor Day being one of them. So be sure to complete your Costco runs on Saturday or Sunday over the holiday weekend. Other membership-based warehouse chains, however, will be open on Labor Day, as noted below.

Here are 20 grocery chains that will be open on Monday, Sept. 4.
