Whether you're looking to grab a bite to eat, go shopping or pick up some last-minute groceries, consumers will have plenty of options Monday.

While holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas see most stores and restaurants close, that is not the case for Labor Day.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the holiday is "an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers."

The holiday traces its roots back to the late nineteenth century, when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday to recognize the many contributions workers have made to American's strength, prosperity and well-being, according to the department.

All major restaurants are open, and most grocery stores and retailers will also be open. Costco is the one notable exception, as all Costco locations will be closed on Monday.

Here's a list of places that are open and closed for the holiday on Monday, Sept. 4. It's best to check with your local store or restaurant online before leaving home, as hours and closures can vary by location.
