IGA Trading Hours on May Day / Labour Day 2025

Here’s what to expect if you’re planning to shop at IGA on May DayorLabour Day in Australia:

• Queensland:
  Most IGA stores are classed as “exempt shops” because they are independently owned and predominantly sell food and groceries. This means they are allowed to open on Labour Day (Monday 5 May 2025), even though larger supermarkets must close. However, opening hours will vary from store to store, as each IGA is independently operated. Some may open for reduced hours, while others might trade as usual. It’s always best to check directly with your local IGA for their specific hours.
• Northern Territory (May Day):
  Similar to Queensland, IGA stores in the NT are generally permitted to open on May Day (Monday 5 May 2025), with trading hours set by each independent owner. Most will open, but hours can vary, so check with your local store.
• Other States:
  Across the rest of Australia, IGA stores usually open on public holidays, including Labour Day, but with varying hours depending on the location and local owner’s decision. Some stores may open for their regular hours, others might have shorter trading times, and a few could choose to close.

Summary:
Most IGA stores across Australia will be open on May Day/Labour Day 2025, but trading hours will vary by location. Always check with your local IGA for their exact opening times on the public holiday.
