How We Determine Holiday Hours

Our approach

We review public brand statements, prior-year holiday patterns, and typical corporate guidance for major chains. When brands operate under franchise or license agreements, we note that local operators set final hours.

We summarize common patterns (such as reduced hours or location-dependent schedules) without guessing exact opening or closing times.

Why we don't guarantee hours

Holiday hours can change quickly due to staffing, weather, host-facility rules, or local demand. Each store or franchise decides its own schedule, even when corporate guidance exists.

Because of these factors, we focus on clear brand-level expectations and always encourage checking official sources before you go.

How to verify before you visit

1. Use the brand's official store locator for location-specific notes.
2. Check the brand's mobile app for live ordering windows and temporary announcements.
3. Call the store directly, especially for pharmacies, drive-thrus, or in-store/airport locations.
4. Confirm host hours if the location sits inside a mall, grocery store, or travel center.
