Labor Day 2025 Grocery And Retail Store Hours In MD: What’s Open, What’s Closed

There are plenty of stores where Marylanders can spend their hard-earned money on Labor Day, but they’ll be out of luck if they want to take care of banking or government business on Monday.

Banks are closed on Labor Day. So are the U.S. Postal Service and non-emergency government offices, whether at the local, state or federal level. Millions of working Americans outside the retail sector get a paid holiday for Labor Day, which became a federal holiday in 1894 to recognize workers’ contributions to the nation’s strength, prosperity, and well-being during the Industrial Revolution.

Retail stores — grocery stores such as Food Lion, Harris Teeter and Giant Eagle, home improvement stores such as Lowe’s and The Home Depot, and big-box stores such as Target and Walmart — will, for the most part, operate regular hours during the long weekend.

An exception, Costco, is closed on Labor Day, as it is on many other national holidays.

Kohl's, JCPenney, TJ Maxx and other department stores will be open, although hours may vary by location. Most fast-food restaurants and convenience stores will be open as usual.

Maryland shopping malls will be open, but some stores may not open or plan to close early.

Here is a selection of malls that will be open:

• Arundel Mills, Hanover
• Marley Station Mall, Glen Burnie
• Annapolis Mall
• Annapolis Town Center
• Mondawmin Mall, Baltimore
• Eastpoint Mall, Dundalk
• The Shops at Kenilworth, Towson

• Harford Mall, Bel Air
