Holiday Hours, Mall by Mall

Checked November 1, 2026 on each mall's own hours page. Malls add and change holiday hours through the season, so we re-check this page every week until New Year's. Where a mall has not posted a holiday yet, the table says so. Individual stores and restaurants can keep different hours from the mall, especially department stores.
