Celebrated on September 17 of every year, Constitution Day is not a public holiday recognized by the federal government, so businesses are not obliged to be closed. Therefore, the majority of fast-food chains-from giants such as McDonald’s down to little McDonald’s scale will essentially work their regular hours on Constitution Day 2025. Here is an extended list of what some of these famous chains intend to offer on that date.

McDonald’s on Constitution Day

While Constitution Day is classified as a holiday, it is not a significant one in that a major share of the McDonald’s worldwide franchisee population keeps the restaurant open for business. Their usual hours for a Wednesday-that is, the day preceding-are kept. The premises usually operate between the wee hours of the morning, that’s roundabout 6:00 AM, to 11:00PM. With some outlets going for outright 24-hours, drive-thru service may extend beyond this time. But this system makes sure that those with cravings for their Big Macs and Mcnuggets on Constitution Day can walk in without wondering if the store will deny them entry.

Constitution Day hours for Burger King

Similar principles apply to Burger King as regards holiday hours. With the exception of a few others such as Christmas, most Burger Kings remain open all year. A mid-September Wednesday allows customers breakfast from 6:00 AM all the way to midnight, which gives them time for any late-night cravings. Some locations may keep the drive-thrus open later than that, but generally midnight is considered an acceptable closing time. This is late enough to serve as a calculated competition factor, enabling night owls and late-night workers to find the way to Burger King easily.

Wendy’s schedule on Constitution Day

When it comes to Constitution Day, Wendy’s observes their normal business hours-Wendy’s is able, however, for most locations, to stay open later than McDonald’s and Burger King from around 10:00 AM until about 1:00 AM. Some outlets that serve breakfast will start at around 6:30 or 7:00 AM, but it may vary per location. As Constitution Day is not really an important holiday where everybody has to close, customers still expect normal services, whether it is for the famous Baconator or one of Wendy’s finest chili options.

A daytime working schedule is also followed on this day by Taco Bell, who is popular with its bold Tex-Mex fare. The hours for Taco Bell may vary a bit from place to place, but in general, one can expect them to be open from 7:00 A.M. to 1:00 A.M. Many Taco Bell joints implement late-night hours or may even go for 24 hours, especially in centers of urban population. The drive-thru is quite a popular venue for those late-night Taco Bell runs, making the chain widely accessible through the day and well into the night come Constitution Day.

Expectations for close on Constitution Day

The main thing that comes with Constitution Day 2025 is the expectation that McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, and Taco Bell will be open for business on their usual weekday hours. Constitution Day is not one of those special holidays usually honored by these fast-food chains with closures or reduced hours, which is the case for Thanksgiving or Christmas. These customers can expect good service, menus, and convenience, which are synonymous with any other Wednesday.

A note on variations by location

While these trends represent the national arena, actual hours will vary slightly by each franchise location, especially independent-owned shops. Some franchises may be less inclined to open, however, because of local governance or operational extenuating circumstances. So with that in mind, before going to one of these locations on Constitution Day, it’s advisable to check the educational songbird, which is the Internet or simply call in advance.

Good planning for Constitution Day 2025

For those planning to grab fast food on Constitution Day, one may rest assured that the large chains will oblige. Whether it is a McFlurry from McDonald, a Whopper from Burger King, a spicy chicken sandwich from Wendy’s, or a Crunchwrap Supreme from Taco Bell-these patrons will engage in their fast-food pleasures without interruption.

To sum it up, Constitution Day 2025 and its provisions seem to be the last barrier that exists between fast-food lovers and the satisfactory services that will be offered by the aforementioned chains during bona fide hours. It is, therefore, business as usual for these traders on this important national date.

This means fans of Constitution Day can waltz in and out for burgers, fries, or tacos at McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, or Taco Bell on September 17, 2025.
