Most grocery stores in the area will be open on Labor Day 2026, which falls on Monday, September 7, with the exception of Costco, which will be closed.
Portland, OR, August 29, 2026 —
Consumers planning last-minute shopping for Labor Day weekend in 2026 will find that most local grocery stores are scheduled to operate on their regular hours or modified schedules for the holiday. Labor Day, observed annually on the first Monday in September, will fall on September 7 in 2026.
The general trend indicates that the majority of grocery retailers in the area will be accessible to shoppers. This is a common practice for many food retailers who aim to serve customer needs during holiday periods, particularly those involving extended weekends and increased demand for food and supplies.
However, a notable exception to this widespread availability will be Costco. The warehouse club retailer has announced it will close its doors on Labor Day, Monday, September 7, 2026. This closure applies to all Costco locations.
For other grocery establishments, specific operating hours on Labor Day may vary. Shoppers are advised to confirm the hours of their preferred grocery store directly with the retailer, as some may opt for reduced hours or special holiday schedules. Information regarding closures or adjusted hours for specific stores was not detailed beyond the Costco announcement.
Labor Day is a federal holiday in the United States, traditionally marking the end of summer. While many businesses, particularly government offices and financial institutions, observe the holiday with closures, the retail sector often sees varied operational plans to accommodate consumer activity.
