(NEXSTAR) – The unofficial end of summer is upon us, giving way to a last hurrah of barbecues, beach days, and other summertime celebrations you may honor during Labor Day. But if you’ve found yourself in need of a trip to the store or a bite to eat, you’re in luck. 

Banks and the post office will close for Labor Day, which lands on September 1 this year. Most services offered by UPS, FedEx, and Amazon are also unavailable.

Most retailers and restaurant chains will, however, have open doors.

That isn’t the case everywhere. Costco and Raising Cane’s will close for the holiday, as they typically do. Others, like ALDI and Sam’s Club, will operate under shortened hours. 

Below is a list of retailers that have confirmed they will be open for Labor Day. Hours may still vary based on location, and they may have limited or unavailable services. It’s best to call ahead or confirm your store’s specific hours and services online before stopping by. 

  • Ace Hardware
  • Best Buy
  • Cabela’s/Bass Pro Shops
  • CVS
  • Dick’s Sporting Goods
  • Dollar General
  • Hobby Lobby
  • Home Depot
  • Homesense
  • IKEA
  • JCPenney

The following restaurants are expected to be open on Labor Day, but potentially with limited hours or services. You’ll want to call or confirm online or via the chain’s app before making an order.

  • Applebee’s
  • Burger King
  • Chick-fil-A
  • Chipotle
  • Denny’s
  • Domino’s

  • Pizza Hut
  • Qdoba
  • Red Lobster
  • Ruth’s Chris Steak House
  • Sonic
  • Starbucks
  • Taco Bell
