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.

Is Target Open on Labor Day?

Yes. Target will be open on Labor Day. Labor Day is considered to be a huge shopping holiday by many people. Most retailers will remain open and this is no different for Target. In fact, the retailer will also be offering some great deals to honor the holiday. Most of the deals will be of the back-to-school variety but the retailer may also be offering some deals on cookout materials, camping supplies and outdoor furniture.

Target Labor Day Deals

Target will be open on Labor Day 2017. But will Target offer you the deals that you want this Labor Day?

As in previous years, Target’s Labor Day sale focuses on home items (both are either online or in-store) and school supplies. You can get up to a whopping 30 percent off home items and televisions. They are also offering a 50 percent discount on school supplies. Other deals include up to 30 percent off patio items, up to 20 percent off garden tools and power equipment and up to 30 percent off last-minute college items.

There may also be other deals, depending on your location. Some Target stores may offer region-specific sales and items. So, if you’re looking for something in particular, give your local Target a ring!

As always, you can get 5% off if you use a Target REDcard debt or credit card. Target managers cannot give additional discounts, so you’ll need to stick with the published deals in your area.

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.
