AutoZone closes for only two holidays a year — Thanksgiving and Christmas Day — staying open through every other major holiday, since car trouble doesn't wait for a calendar.
Why AutoZone Closes for Only Two Days a Year
AutoZone fully closes all of its roughly 6,600 US stores for just two holidays: Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Every other holiday on the calendar, including New Year's Day, July 4th, and Labor Day, AutoZone runs on its regular schedule, reflecting the reality that drivers can need a battery, part, or diagnostic check any day of the year.
