Labor Day 2021: Grocery Stores Open In And Near Carlsbad

CARLSBAD, CA — As plans for Labor Day celebrations ramp up in Carlsbad and across America, trips to the grocery stores are already being made. Albertsons, Aldi and Trader Joe's are among the popular grocery store chains that have stocked up for the Monday holiday celebrating workers, which falls on Sept. 6 this year.
