Always celebrated on the first Monday of September, Labor Day is known to many Americans as the unofficial end of summer, and a long weekend for beach days, barbecues and big shopping sales.

If you don’t want to throw a wrench in your cookout, shopping spree or getaway plans, check these store hours before you make the trip.
