For many, Labor Day is a time to unwind, relax, and take a short break before returning to the daily grind. It’s your much-needed downtime where even your home cooking can take a backseat, making fast food a tempting option. When your cravings hit during this national day of rest, you may find yourself wondering: Is Chick-fil-A open on Labor Day?
Chick-fil-A, one of the country’s most popular chicken sandwich chains, is famously closed on Sundays to give Chick-fil-A employees time with friends and family and to honor the company’s religious values. With Labor Day 2025 coming up, many customers are curious about Chick-fil-A’s Labor Day hours and whether the restaurant will be open this year.

Is Chick-fil-A Open on Labor Day?
Most fast food restaurants, like McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King, and Taco Bell, are open during this national holiday, giving customers a chance to satisfy their hunger with their favorite burgers, tacos, and desserts. During most holidays, these chains typically stay open so customers can stop by when the mood hits. So, what about Chick-fil-A? Do they do the same?
Except for Thanksgiving and Christmas, you’re likely to get your Chick-fil-A fix during the holidays. During Labor Day 2025, Chick-fil-A will be open. No need to hit up your second-favorite spot this year on your day off. You can score a Deluxe Chicken Sandwich, Hash Brown Scramble Burrito, Ice Dream Cone, Cobb Salad, or any other crowd favorites.

What Are Chick-fil-A’s Labor Day Hours?
This is where it gets tricky. While your local Chick-fil-A will be open on Labor Day, store hours will vary by location. So make sure to check your location’s social media pages, check the app, or call in ahead. They’ll be happy to make sure you have your Labor Day plans ready.
While Chick-fil-A stores’ normal hours vary by location, you can generally expect their normal operating hours to be anywhere between 6 to 7 am and close between 9 to 11 pm, which can change depending on the day as well. Just remember, they’re only open Monday through Saturday. Sundays are always closed.
During Labor Day 2025, your store’s location will likely have reduced hours. They may open a bit later and close a bit earlier. Some locations will be open at 8 am or as late as 10:30 am. They may close at 8 pm or as early as 4:30 pm. This gives employees a bit of a break themselves. Don’t expect to grab a super early morning breakfast or get your late-night fix like you usually do.
If you’re planning a large gathering, whether that’s for video game night with the buds or just hanging out with the fam, make sure to call ahead to get your catering order all set. This can save you from any headaches during the holiday rush and ensure you have everyone well-fed.
