Pilgrims office yes, as I recall they are open from 7:30 in the morning till midday and then again from 14.00 to at least 20.15. (F, S, Sun until 22.30)
Restaurant's, cafe's and bars will also predominantly all be open.

Outdoor gear store, supermarket, Post office and such like no; as you pointed out it's a public holiday.

The pilgrim shop may be open. You can write to them to find out. They are closed for winter now, but may answer their emails.

SJPP is in France. The public holiday is the Fête du Travail

The pilgrim office was open when my wife and I were there on 1 May. We got our credencials stamped and set off. I didn't check if anything was open.
