Is Target open on Labor Day 2025?

Target stores are going to be open on Labor Day, which is good news for those who may need to pick up items for Labor Day events or who simply want to be able to shop if they have that Monday off for work when they normally don't.

Target is not the only store that's going to be open, either. Its top rival, Walmart, will also be operating its store on Labor Day Monday, as will many other grocery stores and big box stores.

Stores open on Labor Day include:

Aldi
Whole Foods
Trader Joe's
Starbucks
McDonald's
Kohl's
Dunkin'

It may seem surprising that so many stores are open, especially given that it is a federal holiday. But there's a good reason.

“Store closures aren't as common on Labor Day as they are on some major holidays,” explained Maurie Backman, a personal finance and retail expert with The Street who has been covering retail news for more than a decade.

Always confirm Target hours before you go

While Target will be open on Labor Day, hours can sometimes vary by location, and they might be shortened.

To make sure you aren't disappointed, you can use Target's Store Locator to confirm whether yours is open during normal hours and ready for your visit.
