Chick-fil-A Restaurants to Operate Regular Hours on Labor Day 2025

By Staff Writer September 1, 2025

In a break from tradition at peak holiday time, Chick-fil-A has confirmed that all of its U.S. restaurants will be open on Labor Day, Monday, September 1, 2025. Guests craving the chain’s signature chicken sandwiches, waffle fries or breakfast Chick-n-Minis need not worry about their long-weekend dining plans.

Labor Day, a federal holiday honoring American workers’ social and economic contributions, falls on the first Monday in September. While many schools, banks and government offices remain closed, major restaurant and retail chains decide individually whether to operate. Chick-fil-A’s decision to open aligns with several national quick-service outlets opting to serve customers rather than observe the holiday shutdown.

Most locations will maintain their standard operating hours, though some restaurants may exhibit slight variations. Customers are advised to use the Chick-fil-A restaurant locator on the official website or mobile app to verify specific holiday hours for their local store.

Chick-fil-A officials noted that opening on Labor Day lets families and friends enjoy “comfort food and Southern hospitality” throughout the extended weekend. Offerings include breakfast staples such as Chick-n-Minis and Frosted Coffee in the morning, followed by fan favorites like the Original Chicken Sandwich combo later in the day.

For those hosting gatherings, Chick-fil-A’s catering services remain available on Labor Day, featuring customizable packages of entrees, sides, desserts and beverages tailored to group sizes.

With this announcement, Chick-fil-A joins the ranks of other prominent chains - including McDonald’s, Dunkin’, Chipotle and Starbucks - in remaining open to accommodate holiday crowds. Customers planning a Labor Day outing can rest assured that a visit to Chick-fil-A will be on the menu this year.
