Whole Foods Hours: Today’s Open & Close Times, Holiday & Sunday Hours

What Time Does Whole Foods Open and Close? Hours by Store

Whole Foods publishes hours on a page for each store, and the stores we opened on October 13, 2026 do not agree with each other. The table mixes official store pages and Google Maps listings.

Across Chicago, Denver and Atlanta Google Maps listings, closing time was 9:00 PM or 10:00 PM. The live status bar on this page uses a 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM template, which matches the largest-city stores, so check the store page if yours is a smaller one.

Whole Foods Closing Time and Open Time Near Me

Two questions drive most visits to this page: when does the store open, and when does it shut.

• Opening is 7:00 AM or 8:00 AM at the stores we checked. We found none that opened later than 8:00 AM.
• Closing is 9:00 PM or 10:00 PM. In the Maps scan, every Chicago store listed 10:00 PM, while Denver and Atlanta each had a mix of 9:00 PM and 10:00 PM closes.
• Whole Foods does not run a 24-hour format. We saw no overnight store in any of the five metros we scanned.

One more thing worth knowing: each Whole Foods store page also lists the store's own telephone number and the name of its Store Team Leader, so the store itself is the quickest place to confirm whether tonight's close is the usual one. For a same-day check, the hours panel on the page is the official answer, and it is the one to trust over any third-party listing, including this one.

Whole Foods Hours in Chicago, Denver and Atlanta

Searches for Whole Foods hours near me depend on which store is nearest, so here is what the Google Maps listings showed on October 13, 2026 for three metros.

That is a mix of 9:00 PM and 10:00 PM, with 10:00 PM the more common close in all three cities. If you are driving to a store late in the evening, the 9:00 PM exceptions are the ones that catch people out, and the weekly table on each store page is quicker than a phone call.

Whole Foods Hot Bar, Salad Bar and Coffee Bar Hours

The prepared-food counters are some of the most searched parts of a Whole Foods visit, and also the least well documented.

Store pages list Hot & Salad Bar, Market Plate, Pizza, Market Sandwich and coffee bars as amenities, but none of the pages we opened printed separate hours for them. They operate inside the store's open hours, and a counter may close or sell out earlier than the registers.

• The Lamar store in Austin lists a hot and salad bar, pizza, a sandwich counter, a coffee roaster cafe and several in-store eateries, all without their own hours.
• The Chelsea store lists a hot and salad bar, a coffee bar, pizza and sushi.
• Certified Cheese Professional help carries an explicit note on both pages: check with the store for available hours.

Whole Foods Amazon Returns and Pickup Hours

Whole Foods doubles as an Amazon drop-off point, and the hours depend on which service you use.

• Amazon Returns is listed on store pages for the free, no-box-or-label return of eligible items.
• Where a store has an Amazon Counter, it handles assisted pickup and returns. The Austin Lamar store lists one.
• The Self-service Amazon Returns Kiosk, also on the Lamar page, is described as open during store hours.
• Grocery Delivery & Pickup through Amazon is for Prime members, and pickup slots are chosen when you order.

The practical rule is that Amazon services run inside the store hours shown above and that not every location has every service, so look at the Store Amenities list on your own store page before you plan a return.

Is Whole Foods Open on Thanksgiving?

Yes at most stores, with shortened hours.

Whole Foods' holiday hours page says many stores open for modified hours on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. For Thanksgiving Day 2026, Thursday, November 26, that means a morning-to-early-afternoon window at most stores, and you should look up your own store.

• In 2025, press coverage reported that stores in Maine, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, as well as the Bryant Park store in New York City, were closed on Thanksgiving.
• A 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM window was reported for most stores in 2025, but Whole Foods does not print a single national time.
• Black Friday, November 27, is not named on the holiday page, so your store's regular hours apply unless the store page says otherwise.

Whole Foods Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Hours

The official page is short and clear about Christmas Day.

Whole Foods on Easter, Memorial Day and July 4th

These holidays are open days for most stores, but not all.

• Easter: a Whole Foods spokesperson told Today.com in 2025 that most stores open at the regular time and close early, at 6:00 PM, with a few exceptions. Easter Sunday 2026 was April 5; check the store page for future years.
• Memorial Day: the holiday hours page says most stores are open, so Monday, May 25, 2026 was a trading day for most.
• Independence Day and Labor Day: the page does not mention them. Store pages are the place to see any change.
