Popular Retailer To Now Close All Minnesota Locations On Same Day

I think there are two types of people in life: those who are great at analyzing their decisions, weighing the pros and the cons, so things remain as predictable as possible, and then those who just take life as it comes, without giving too much thought as to their next move.

I think I fall somewhere in the middle, as I do like unexpected adventures, but I do need some predictability and stability, or things would be too chaotic.

That is especially true with the places I visit the most, such as the places I shop. So, if you're like me, you'll likely appreciate knowing that one of the most popular places to shop will soon be closing all of its Minnesota locations on a day when most major retailers will be open in some capacity with big sales to boot.

Labor Day is a US federal holiday celebrated on the first Monday of September, honoring the social and economic achievements of American workers. The holiday arose from the late 19th-century labor movement, which sought to recognize workers' contributions and advocate for better working conditions

Throughout Minnesota, people often view Labor Day as the holiday that marks the end of summer, so they take advantage of the long weekend for things like travel, barbecues, and enjoying other outdoor activities.
