Lakewinds Co-op, Lunds & Byerlys: Grocery Stores Open Labor Day

RICHFIELD, MN — As plans for Labor Day celebrations ramp up in Richfield and across America, trips to the grocery stores are already being made. Trader Joe's, Albertson's and Rite Aid 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 Richfield will still be open to help out.

Lakewinds Food Co-op will open under reduced hours, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Rong Market will operate under its typical hours (9 a.m. to 8 p.m.), as will Richfield's Lunds & Byerlys (6 a.m. to 10 p.m.).

However, Devi Style & West Indian Grocery and Galaxy Foods International will not be open, as they are closed every Monday.

Many grocery stores are operating under face covering guidelines as the coronavirus pandemic continues amid a nationwide surge of delta variant cases, so make sure to double-check with your neighborhood location on its policy before deciding whether to take a mask with to the store.
