Labor Day Cheers? Pennsylvania Liquor Stores Announce Holiday Closures for 2025

As Labor Day 2025 approaches, marking the unofficial end of summer with barbecues, gatherings, and relaxation, residents of Pennsylvania need to make note of a crucial detail for their holiday preparations: state-run liquor stores will be closed.

Fine Wine & Good Spirits locations across the Commonwealth will not be open for business on Monday, September 1st, 2025.

This decision aligns with the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board's (PLCB) policy of observing major state holidays, ensuring their employees can enjoy the federal observance.

For those planning to stock up on wine, spirits, or other alcoholic beverages for their Labor Day celebrations, proactive shopping is highly recommended.

Consumers are advised to complete their purchases at their local Fine Wine & Good Spirits store before closing hours on Sunday, August 31st. Waiting until the last minute could lead to disappointment for your holiday festivities.

While the state-run stores will be shuttered, Pennsylvanians still have options for purchasing alcoholic beverages, though with some distinctions.

Beer distributors, which operate independently, are typically open on Labor Day. These establishments are the go-to for purchasing cases, 12-packs, and 6-packs of beer. Additionally, licensed breweries, wineries, and distilleries may maintain their own unique holiday hours, and many offer direct-to-consumer sales.

Grocery stores and convenience stores that hold expanded permits may also sell beer and hard seltzers, often with varying hours that could include Labor Day openings.

To avoid any last-minute rushes or empty-handed holiday hosts, double-checking the operating hours of alternative retailers is a wise move.

A quick call or online check for your preferred beer distributor or local brewery can confirm their schedule for September 1st.

So, as you finalize your guest list and menu for Labor Day 2025, remember to add a trip to the liquor store to your pre-holiday checklist. Plan ahead, shop smart, and ensure your celebrations are fully stocked and worry-free!
