Google - Labeled for Reuse Is Burger King open or closed on Memorial Day 2020?

Burger King is open on both New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, 2019-2020, so if you’re looking for a quick snack on your way to celebrate the holiday, BK has you covered. However, the burger chain may have reduced, or even extended hours on New Year’s Day depending on your location, so we recommend calling your local restaurant to check the hours before heading out to grab a bite to eat.

Although the fast food chain doesn’t normally close down on major holidays, Burger King is chain-operated and hours are often limited to allow employees to spend time with family, so it doesn’t hurt to check with your local Burger King before making the trip.

Most Burger King stores are open between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m. on weekdays, with some restaurants remaining open later on weekends. You can find the hours and locations of your local Burger King here.
