Yes, Chick-fil-A is open on Labor Day 2026. Most Chick-fil-A restaurants will be open on Monday, Sept. 7, as Labor Day is not one of the chain’s regular nationwide closure holidays.
Chick-fil-A typically closes its restaurants on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, while remaining open for other major holidays, including Labor Day. However, individual locations can have different schedules, particularly restaurants located inside airports, malls, universities, hospitals and other facilities.
If you’re visiting a Chick-fil-A you don’t normally go to, it’s a good idea to check its hours before leaving home.

What are Chick-fil-A’s Labor Day Hours?
Chick-fil-A’s Labor Day hours generally follow its regular schedule, although hours can vary by location. Most restaurants typically operate from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, but some locations may have different hours.
For the most accurate information, check your local restaurant using the Chick-fil-A app or the restaurant locator on the company’s website. This is especially helpful if you’re planning to visit early in the morning or later in the evening.
Keep in mind that Chick-fil-A restaurants are generally closed on Sundays, so if your Labor Day plans extend through the weekend, be sure to account for that when making your plans. Checking your specific restaurant’s hours before heading out is always the best plan.
