Olive Garden, a popular casual dining chain, has revealed that it will close all of its approximately 900 locations across the United States on Thanksgiving Day, 27 November, and Christmas Day, 25 December. According to the company's FAQs page, the closures are to allow the team members 'to spend time with their family and friends.'

While the closures apply across the continental US, restaurants in Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico and international locations may operate under different schedules. These locations are advised to check locally.
