Fast Food Chains Stay Open on May 25 Us Holiday

Most fast food and casual dining chains are expected to stay open on the may 25 us holiday, Memorial Day, though hours can vary by location. For anyone traveling, grilling, or planning to order in, the practical question is which places will keep serving without a holiday shutdown.

Memorial Day falls on Monday, May 25, and the expected pattern is broad availability rather than a full closure. Most Starbucks locations will be open, along with Chick-fil-A, Taco Bell, Burger King, Wingstop, Five Guys, Domino’s, Pizza Hut, Wendy’s, Applebee’s, Chipotle, Dunkin’, In-N-Out and KFC.

Memorial Day hours by chain

Most McDonald’s locations traditionally remain open on holidays, including Memorial Day, while Burger King restaurants are generally open regular hours. Domino’s stores should remain open with regular hours, and Pizza Hut locations are typically open. Chick-fil-A restaurants will be open on Memorial Day, and most Wendy’s restaurants will be open.

Chipotle is expected to operate normal hours, and most Dunkin’ locations will be open. Applebee’s locations should be open, while Taco Bell is expected to be open on Memorial Day. Wingstop locations are typically open, and In-N-Out is typically open on Memorial Day. KFC restaurants are generally open.

Location rules on May 25

The main wrinkle is that holiday hours are not uniform. Franchise-level differences play a key role in holiday operating hours, and hours might vary by location even when a chain is expected to stay open.

Holiday hours aggregators such as The Holiday Hours and multiple reports support the expectation that most chains will operate normal or slightly reduced hours. For customers, that means checking a specific store before leaving home is the safest move, especially for late meals or delivery plans.

That leaves the holiday dining decision in a simple place: the chains are largely open, but the local store decides the timing.
