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.

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.
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
