The end of summer is in sight with Labor Day just around the corner.
Each year on the first Monday in September, the United States recognizes American workers for their hard work in promoting the country's economic and social success with the celebration of Labor Day, which has been an official federal holiday since 1894.
For many, Labor Day also means the end of summer and the beginning of a new season. Some spend the long weekend enjoying the last moments of warm bliss on the beach, while others look forward to fall, preparing their homes for pleasant weather.
Whether your plans include a barbecue on the beach, a last-minute bank run or checking out end-of-summer sales, chances are you'll be getting out of the house this Labor Day. But before you make arrangements, know that some businesses are choosing to close their doors early on Monday or not open at all.
For anyone who needs to run an errand or wants to embark on a spontaneous shopping spree, here is a list of businesses that will be open and closed this Labor Day.
