Summer’s winding down, but Labor Day—observed this year on Monday, September 1, 2025—gives one last chance to soak up the sun with a grill-out or trip to the lake. Even hosts who prep ahead often forget one item and need that emergency store run. Good news: Walmart’s got your back.
Is Walmart Open on Labor Day 2025?
Yes, Walmart will be open on Labor Day, Monday, September 1, 2025. The vast majority of locations will operate during regular business hours, typically starting around 6 a.m. and closing at 11 p.m. local time.
Department & Service Hours May Vary
Different departments like the pharmacy, auto care, deli, or bakery may open later or close earlier than the main store hours—so it’s always a smart move to call ahead or check the store’s website. For example, Walmart pharmacies are sometimes open, but schedule changes on holidays happen.
Services like curbside pickup also vary by location; order early if you need same-day service, as late orders might be prepped the following day.
What’s the Buzz on Deals?
Expect Labor Day promotions at Walmart—this year, they’ve already dropped big discounts on school supplies, electronics, appliances, furniture, and more.
