Planning to Shop on Labor Day? Check the Operating Hours of Costco, Aldi, and Trader Joe's

Have you prepared your grocery list for the Labor Day weekend? If not, it’s a good idea to confirm the holiday schedules of your preferred supermarkets. Labor Day, observed on Monday, September 2, honors the contributions of American workers, meaning many grocery store employees will be taking a well-earned break. To assist with your planning, here’s a guide to whether Costco, Aldi, and Trader Joe’s will be open, along with other stores that may have limited hours.

Costco

Regrettably, Costco will not be open. Last year, Costco shared a detailed schedule of holidays when its warehouses remain closed, such as Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day. If you need to visit Costco this weekend, ensure you go before Monday.  

Aldi

Aldi will have reduced hours on Labor Day, as stated on its website. Limited hours usually indicate the store will shut by late afternoon or early evening. To avoid missing out, shop early or stock up on groceries beforehand.

Trader Joe’s

Good news—Trader Joe’s will maintain its standard hours this Labor Day. For any last-minute shopping needs, visit your local Trader Joe’s on Monday, September 2. Just double-check the location and its specific operating hours.

Other Grocery Stores Operating on Labor Day

If you’re curious, several major grocery chains will remain open on Labor Day. Stores like Kroger, Piggly Wiggly, Publix, Safeway, Target, Walmart, and Whole Foods will maintain their usual operating hours throughout the holiday weekend.

Alongside Aldi’s modified schedule, Sam’s Club will also have similar hours, with Plus members granted early access. While navigating a busy store might not be ideal, you’ll have plenty of alternatives to choose from this Monday.
