Here's Everything That's Open and Closed on Labor Day 2019

Labor Day, which is observed on the first Monday of September, became a federal holiday to honor workers in 1894, after union and labor movement protests. Of course, it’s also considered the end of summer for American families as school terms begin and the weather starts to change.

For those opting to celebrate, there are dozens of stores and restaurants that won’t close their doors for the holiday on Monday, Sept. 1. If you forgot to buy hot dog buns for Monday’s feast, there’s probably a grocery store nearby. Missing back-to-school shopping supplies? Some businesses will keep their doors open too.
