Is your Labor Day cookout a flop without hot dogs? Fear not! Discover all the stores and restaurants open on Labor Day to save the day—plus a penguin twist!

As Labor Day approaches on September 2, 2024, many Canadians are wondering what stores and restaurants are still open on this federal holiday. Whether you're hosting a last-minute barbecue and forgot the hot dogs, or you’re just needing a caffeinated pick-me-up on the road, knowing where to shop is vital. While most retailers and grocery stores like Wegman's will open for business, some big names, including Costco, will be closed for the entire day. With an influx of shoppers trying to stock up, it's crucial to plan ahead—unless you want to resort to a frantic search for snacks that will abandon you faster than a lazy penguin on a hot day.

In the spirit of honoring the working class, Labor Day shines a spotlight on those with quiet competence. We might not always notice them, but it’s the workers, the gig economy warriors, and the indispensable local businesses that keep us going. Then there’s Blake Lizotte, the small but speedy player from Pittsburgh—could he be the cult favorite of the Penguins this season? Just as we balance fun and leisure during this holiday, we appreciate the hard work that goes behind the scenes in sports, stores, and everything else.

Meanwhile, if you find yourself gasping for a latte or craving a burger during a day meant for relaxation, multiple fast food giants like Starbucks and McDonald's will have their doors open. And while you're munching on delicious morsels, don’t forget to think about those quiet heroes working behind the counter. Still, it’s always a good idea to check the specific hours at your local spots, because luckily, CVS will be there with varying hours to ensure you don’t lose your last drink just because a holiday rolled around.

In Canada, many of us cherish these long weekends. Labor Day not only marks the unofficial end of summer, but it also serves as a reminder to appreciate our work culture—and let's be honest, a day off from the grind is more than welcome! On this day, when teachers prepare for another academic year, we’ll always cherish those moments of relaxation and fulfillment, whether that means enjoying a peaceful day or laughing at a Jim Gaffigan stand-up special about holiday complaints.

Before you dive head-first into the celebrations, did you know that Labor Day was originally established to honor the labor movement and the contributions of workers? Also, it generally indicates the start of fall, which means pumpkin spice lattes might just be on the horizon! With that in mind, plan your menus and outings wisely for a festive, fun-filled day where everyone gets a chance to enjoy—yes, even the penguins!
