For many Chick-fil-A fans, the chain’s well-known weekly Sunday closure is already tough to accept. So when a long weekend comes around, the possibility of missing out on their favorite chicken sandwich and waffle fries for an extra day can stir up some serious cravings.
Labor Day is a federal holiday that’s observed on the first Monday of September and honors the social and economic contributions of American workers, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

While many schools, banks, and government offices shut down for the day, essential workers are still required to work, and even some private sectors remain open, since no law requires them to close. Â
However, restaurants and retailers often decide whether to remain open, and hours can vary widely. This begs the question of which ones will close on Labor Day this year, as some seize the opportunity to take a day off.
