Chipotle Confirms Regular Hours on Labor Day

September 1, 2025 - In observance of Labor Day, Chipotle Mexican Grill confirmed today that all of its U.S. restaurants will operate during their normal business hours on Monday, September 1. While many federal institutions, including banks and post offices, observe the holiday by closing, Chipotle opted to remain open to serve customers seeking quick, customizable meals over the long weekend.

According to a company spokesperson, “We know people like to take a break from cooking on holidays, and our teams are ready to welcome guests with their favorite burritos, bowls, and salads throughout the day.” Customers can use the Chipotle mobile app or website to locate their nearest restaurant and verify exact opening and closing times.

This announcement aligns with Chipotle’s broader holiday schedule for 2025, which generally sees the chain open at regular hours on most federal holidays-including Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Veterans Day-while closing only on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

Labor Day, established as a federal holiday in 1894 to honor the contributions of American workers, traditionally prompts closures among government offices and some retailers. However, many fast-food and casual dining chains have chosen to remain open, offering convenience for holiday travelers and families seeking dining options without the fuss of home cooking.

Chipotle joins other quick-service and fast-casual brands-such as McDonald’s, Chick-fil-A, and Starbucks-that will similarly keep their doors open today for customers celebrating the unofficial end of summer. Continuous service at popular chains ensures that holiday plans need not be disrupted by limited dining choices.
