List of Fast Food Chain Hours for Memorial Day 2025
Several popular fast food chains will be open for business this year on Memorial Day, when Americans will honor U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the armed forces.
Memorial Day, which occurs on the last Monday in May, is a federal holiday, so businesses and government agencies may be closed for the day. This year, the holiday falls on May 26.
Congress officially declared Memorial Day a holiday in 1971, but its origins go back to after the Civil War, when a group of Union army veterans, the Grand Army of the Republic, established Decoration Day as a day for the nation to decorate the graves of those who died in combat with flowers. It was originally celebrated on May 5, 1868. The name "Memorial Day" became more common after World War I.
Many Americans will spend the day at cookouts or barbecues to commemorate the holiday, but for those on the road or looking for a quick bite, most fast-food restaurants will be open their normal hours.
Of course, this may vary based on individual stores or franchises, so it's always best to check with local hours of operation for the most up-to-date information.
Burger King will be open its regular hours on Memorial Day for those looking for a quick burger or fries. There are nearly 7,000 Burger King locations across the country.
Chick-fil-A, which closes on some holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas and is closed every Sunday, will be open on Memorial Day. The company's website notes that customers should check individual locations' hours of operation. There are more than 3,000 Chick-fil-A locations in the U.S.
Chipotle, with more than 3,000 U.S. restaurants, will be open its normal hours this year on Memorial Day for those with a craving for a burrito or Mexican-inspired bowl.
Americans looking for a sweet treat on Memorial Day are in luck, as Dairy Queen is expected to be open regular hours on Memorial Day. Dairy Queen has more than 4,000 restaurants in the U.S.
The popular pizza chain with around 5,600 stores is expected to be open regular hours on Memorial Day.

The popular burger joint with more than 1,500 locations will be open regular hours for Memorial Day.

Jimmy John's, a popular sub and sandwich chain, will be open its regular hours on Memorial Day. Jimmy John's has more than 2,000 U.S. locations.
McDonald's, with more than 13,600 locations across the United States, will be open on Memorial Day. Some locations are open 24 hours for a late night—or early morning—meal, though hours depend on each location.
Panera Bread is open most holidays, and Memorial Day is no exception. It will be open regular hours on this year's holiday. Panera Bread has more than 2,000 restaurants nationwide.
Papa Johns, with over 3,000 locations across the country, is expected to be open regular hours on Memorial Day.
Those in need of a caffeine boost on Memorial Day are in luck—the popular coffee chain Starbucks is expected to be open its normal hours on Memorial Day. Starbucks has more than 16,000 locations across the country.
With more than 20,000 stores across the U.S., Subway is the fast food chain with the most locations. Those stores are expected to be open normal hours on Memorial Day—but like other fast-food restaurants, that may depend on the individual location.
Taco Bell, known for its Mexican-style fast food with around 8,000 stores nationwide, will be open during their regular hours on Memorial Day. The popular fast-food diner is only closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Wendy's will be open on and offers exclusive deals to veterans who are members of WeSalute and enrolled in VetRewards for Memorial Day and other patriotic holidays including Flag Day, Independence Day, Patriot Day and Veterans Day, according to its website.

Veteran fund manager who predicted April rally updates S&P 500 forecast
It's been quite a rally. After stocks were deeply oversold in early April following what President Donald Trump called his Liberation Day tariff reveal, the S&P 500 has posted rip-roaring returns, gaining 20% in about six weeks. The rally caught many investors off guard. The potential for tariffs to increase inflation, zapping economic activity and corporate profitability, had sent stocks down 19%, just shy of bear-market territory. One investor who wasn't surprised was the Wall Street veteran hedge fund manager Doug Kass. This Memorial Day, get $100 off TheStreet Pro - our best deal of the summer won't last long! Your portfolio will thank you Kass has been investing professionally since the early 1970s. His career, which includes a stint as research director for billionaire Leon Cooperman's Omega Advisors, has enabled him to make several savvy calls, including forecasting the bull market top in 2021 and bear market low in 2022. More recently, Kass correctly predicted a stock market reckoning this year in December and accurately called for the S&P 500 to bottom after its tariff-driven selloff in April. Kass updated his view on stocks this week, and his latest thoughts may frustrate some investors. The US economy has slowed markedly from its pace last summer, and that should be bad news for the S&P 500, given corporate revenue and profit growth are cornerstones of stock market valuation. The economy's headwinds include shifts in consumer spending toward essentials from discretionary buys amid sticky inflation; a weak jobs market, and eroded consumer and business confidence. Related: Stock market tumbles after uncommon event The uncertainty associated with stiff tariffs and mounting US debt adds to the pressures. In short, the backdrop isn't nearly as favorable as it was for stocks in 2023 and 2024, when optimism that the Federal Reserve would shift from hawkish to dovish monetary policy and growth in spending on artificial intelligence fueled back-to-back 20%-plus returns for the S&P 500. Inflation has retreated since it peaked above 8% in 2022. However, core inflation remains above the Fed's 2% target. The latest core Consumer Price Index and Personal Consumption Expenditures data show inflation at 2.8% and 2.5% in April, respectively. Meanwhile, the Fed's rate cuts last September, November and December have yet to reverse recent job losses. The unemployment rate has increased to 4.2% from 3.4% in 2023. According to Challenger, Gray & Christmas, companies have announced over 602,000 layoffs this year, up 87% from last year. Given inflation and jobs data, it's little wonder consumers feel uneasy, especially amid a turbulent sea of trade war news. The Conference Board's Expectations Index improved last month on hopes of China trade negotiations, but at 72.8 it remains below the 80 threshold commonly found ahead of a recession. Despite all the challenges, the stock market has marched higher since April 9, when President Trump reversed course and paused many of the reciprocal tariffs announced on April 2. However, 25% tariffs remain on Canada, Mexico and autos, and a 30% tariff on China (down from 145% previously). The recent decision by the Court of International Trade blocking most of Trump's tariffs is primarily seen as temporary, with plenty of levers available to the White House to continue its trade war. (In fact, a federal appeals court has delayed the trade court's block on the tariffs as it considers the case.) Yet the stock market has largely shrugged, with the S&P 500 returning 20% from its April 8 low, including a month-to-date 6% return in May. In December, Kass correctly forecast that stocks had run too fast and that the S&P 500 was due for a pullback of 15%. Initially, Kass was wrong, as the S&P 500 rallied into mid-February. But he continued to beat the bearish drum, a savvy move given the S&P 500's 19% slide through early April. More Economic Analysis: Hedge-fund manager sees U.S. becoming GreeceA critical industry is slamming the economyReports may show whether the economy is toughing out the tariffs The stock market's drop was rapid and steep, prompting Kass to correctly pivot to bullish in April, citing the likelihood of an oversold rally. Now that we've received those expected gains, Kass has shifted again, taking a decidedly bearish tone. "I am respectful of the market's extraordinary price momentum over such a short-term time frame; however, I plan to put a larger short stake in the ground," wrote Kass in a post on TheStreet Pro. "Going against the consensus grain and the herd is nothing new to me." Kass's bearishness is rooted in the rise of global economic uncertainty and the potential threat to the concept of American exceptionalism. "Political and geopolitical polarization and competition will probably translate into less centrism and, in turn, a reduced concern for deficits," wrote Kass. "This will create structural uncertainties, fiscal sloppiness, and worldwide imprudence. It will also create the possibility that bond markets 'disanchor.'" Kass says valuation has once again become frothy, given that the forward price-to-earnings multiple is back above 21, according to FactSet. That elevated p/e multiple is problematic if the economy suffers stubborn inflation and slow growth. "I, however, still see valuations and consensus expectations for economic and corporate profit growth inflated," wrote Kass. "So, look for the soft data to weaken into the hard data as the housing market slows and the vulnerability of the middle class is revealed. Expect below trend-line economic growth with sticky inflation lie ahead ("slugflation")." How far could the S&P 500 drop if things worsen? "I view less than 5% upside compared to 10%-15% downside. This is an increasingly unattractive ratio of nearly three to one," said Kass.

Iran boosting enriched Uranium stockpiles, U.N. nuclear watchdog says
This is a view in 2010 of Iranian nuclear power plant in Bushehr, southern Iran. File photo by Abedin Taherkenareh/EPA/EFE May 31 (UPI) -- Iran has increased production of highly enriched uranium, according to the United Nations nuclear watchdog, as the nation conducts talks with the United States on a nuclear deal. The International Atomic Energy Agency said the Middle East country now possesses more than 408.6 kilograms, or 900 pounds, of uranium enriched to 60% purity as of May 17, according to a confidential report obtained by the BBC and Al Jazeera. That's a nearly 50% increase since February. In December, the IAEA said Iran was rapidly moving closer to the 90% threshold needed for weapons-grade material. This is enough for about 10 nuclear weapons if further refined. Iran is the only non-nuclear-armed state producing uranium at this level. "The significantly increased production and accumulation of highly enriched uranium by Iran ... is of serious concern," IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said. IAEA concluded that Tehran conducted nuclear activities at three previously unknown sites: Lavisan-Shian, Varamin, Turquzabad. And IAEA stated said it "cannot verify" the development of nuclear weapons, citing Iran's refusal to grant access to senior inspectors and not answer questions about its nuclear history. The IAEA board plans to meet in the coming days to discuss next steps. Iran has long said its nuclear enrichment is for peaceful purposes. "If the issue is nuclear weapons, yes, we too consider this type of weapon unacceptable," Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a televised speech. "We agree with them on this issue." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday in a statement that Iran is "totally determined" to acquire nuclear weapons. "Such a level of enrichment exists only in countries actively pursuing nuclear weapons and has no civilian justification whatsoever," Netanyahu's office said. U.S. officials estimate Ian could produce weapons-grade material in less than two weeks and potentially build a bomb within months. Since talks began in April, both sides have expressed optimism but are divided over key issues, including whether Iran can continue enrichment under any future agreement. Two of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's advisors -- Ali Larijani and Kamal Kharazi -- have suggested Iran might reconsider building nuclear weapons if international pressure mounts. The IAEA findings could be a negotiation tool for Iran, Hamed Mousavi, professor of political science at Tehran University, told Al Jazeera. "I think both sides are trying to build leverage against the other side," he said. "From the Iranian perspective, an advancement in the nuclear program is going to bring them leverage at the negotiation table with the Americans. "Enriching up to 60% - from the Iranian perspective - is a sort of leverage against the Americans to lift sanctions." He said the U.S. could threaten more sanctions and refer the situation to the U.N. Security Council for its breach of the 2006 non-proliferation agreement. On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump said he sees a nuclear deal with Iran that would allow the destruction of labs and inspections. Iran has rejected inspections. He said a deal is "very strong, where we can go in with inspectors. We can take whatever we want. We can blow up whatever we want. But nobody getting killed." In 2018, Trump unilaterally exited the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and reimposed harsh sanctions. In 2015, Iran reached a deal with the U.S., Britain, Germany, France, Russia, China and the European Union. Some sanctions on Iran were lifted for limits on its nuclear development program.
