Is Target Open on Labor Day 2017?

Labor Day is just around the corner and many people are doing some last-minute shopping to get ready for their three-day weekend. Others will be looking to get their shopping done on their day off (Monday). Federal holidays like Labor Day can make things a bit confusing when it comes to knowing what will be open and what will be closed.

Labor Day is Monday, September 4. While some retailers will be holding huge sales, others will close their doors to give their employees a day off in honor of Labor Day.  If you are a regular shopper at Target you may be wondering whether or not the retailer will be open this Labor Day Monday.

What is Target’s Holiday Schedule?

Most Target stores are open during their normal business hours on holidays, except for Thanksgiving and Christmas.  On non-holiday days, Target is open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Saturday. On some holidays, Target stores may open earlier. Labor Day, however, it not a holiday in which Target will be opening early.

Target is open most holidays. The only holidays Target is not open include Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.  In past years, Target has opened its doors early on Black Friday, opening at 6 a.m. and closing at midnight.  Target pharmacies (now owned by CVS Pharmacy) are typically open a bit later (at 9 a.m.) and close earlier (at 9 p.m.) on regular days and holidays.  Target photo labs keep regular store hours.

However, if you’re thinking about heading to Target on Labor Day you shouldn’t have a problem. All 1,802 locations will be open and ready for shoppers.
