Coles Trading Hours on May Day / Labour Day 2025

Heads up for May Day / Labour Day shoppers:
Coles supermarkets across most of Australia operate with reduced or altered hours on public holidays, and in some states, they close entirely for Labour Day.

• Queensland: All Coles stores will be closed on Labour Day, Monday 5 May 2025. This is a statewide public holiday, so don’t expect your local Coles to be open for a quick shop.
• Northern Territory(May Day): Most Coles stores are likely to be closed on Monday 5 May 2025 as well, in line with public holiday trading restrictions. Always check with your local store for any exceptions.
• Other States:Labour Day is celebrated on different dates in other states. When it falls, major supermarkets like Coles often close or operate on significantly reduced hours. Always check your local store’s website or call ahead, as some shopping centres and individual stores may have different arrangements.

In summary:
If you’re in Queensland or the Northern Territory, don’t plan on doing your big Coles shop on Labour Day/May Day – the stores will be shut. For other states, check the date and local arrangements, as hours will vary.
