(NEXSTAR) — The unofficial end of summer is upon us, giving way to a last hurrah of barbecues, beach days, and other summertime celebrations you may honor during Labor Day. But if you’ve found yourself in need of a trip to the store or a bite to eat, you’re in luck. 

Banks and the post office will close for Labor Day, which lands on Sept. 1 this year. Most services offered by UPS, FedEx, and Amazon are also unavailable.

Most retailers and restaurant chains will, however, have open doors.
