Burger King closing down for the entire day this month and customers will be forced to make alternat

BURGER King has announced a major change to its hours of operation coming up later this month.

Some locations of the fast food joint will be closed on Christmas.

Since Burger King has franchise restaurants across the US, some stores will remain open on the holiday.

Franchisees, who pay a fee to run the locations, can decide to stay open or adjust to shorter holiday hours.

The U.S. Sun checked with a store in Maryland that confirmed it would be closed on Christmas, but open on Christmas Eve.

If you're hoping to grab a Whopper or a Royal Crispy Wrap, check with your local Burger King before heading over to see if it's open.

McDonald’s and Chick-fil-A announced their restaurants won't open on Christmas day.

However, Wendy's will remain open all day for anyone who needs a fried food fix.

Walmart has confirmed that it will once again close on Christmas to give employees an extra day of rest.

Luckily, it will be open on Christmas Eve for any last-minute buys.

However, stores may have reduced hours due to the holiday season so it's important to call ahead of time.

Most Walmart stores will be open from 6 am to 6 pm on December 24.

Kroger is adjusting its hours on Christmas Eve and closing completely the next day.

Christmas is the only day of the year when all Kroger stores close nationwide.

Holiday hours will be posted at every store so shoppers can plan ahead of time. Most stores will be open until 9 pm, but others will close earlier at 6.

CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Vons, and more will be open but with shorter hours.
