August is fading fast, and September is knocking on the door. That means Labor Day—the holiday celebrating America’s workforce—is right around the corner. In 2025, it falls on Monday, September 1. For many, that means backyard barbecues, last-minute beach trips, and one final summer getaway.
But what happens if you’re mid-grill and run out of burger buns, soda, or sunscreen? Will Walmart be there to save the day?
