Whole Foods, Publix, Kroger: Grocery Stores Open On Labor Day

ATLANTA — As plans for Labor Day celebrations ramp up in Buckhead and across America, trips to the grocery stores are already being made. Publix, Whole Foods and Kroger are among the popular grocery store chains that have stocked up for the Monday holiday celebrating workers, which falls on Sept. 6 this year.

It's almost inevitable that a supply of condiments, hot dogs, potato chips and other Labor Day weekend party classics will be forgotten on the day. Luckily for last-minute shoppers, the majority of grocery stores in and near Buckhead will still be open to help out.
