Chick-fil-A’s well-known “closed on Sundays” policy is already tough for fans to accept. So when a long holiday weekend rolls around, the thought of another day missing out on a crispy chicken sandwich and golden waffle fries drenched in Chick-fil-A sauce can spark uncontrollable cravings.
Columbus Day is a federal holiday observed on the second Monday of October and commemorates Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the Americas. While schools, banks, and government offices typically close for the day, many businesses and essential workers continue their usual routines, since no law requires them to shut down.
However, restaurants and retailers often set their own schedules, causing hours to fluctuate and leaving customers wondering which ones will actually remain open and which won’t.
