Apple Stores close on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, with one famous exception — the Fifth Avenue store in New York City, which stays open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including every holiday.
The One Apple Store That Never Closes
Apple's flagship Fifth Avenue store in New York City, recognizable by its glass cube entrance, has operated 24 hours a day, every day of the year, since it opened in 2006 — the only Apple Store in the world with that distinction. Every other US Apple Store follows the standard closure schedule, shutting down for Thanksgiving and Christmas Day like most retailers.
