Chipotle Black Friday Hours: Open, and the Offer Is a Delivery Deal
Black Friday is a normal trading day at Chipotle, which makes the hours half of this question straightforward. The part worth planning around is the offer, and Chipotle structures it differently from most restaurants: rather than discounting food on the day, it runs a four-day free-delivery promotion across the weekend, app-only, with a code. Here is exactly what ran in 2025, what it is likely to look like in 2026, and the timing to watch.
Chipotle trades normally on Black Friday — it is the day after Thanksgiving, which is the one day Chipotle does close. The offer is Cyber Weekend: in 2025 that meant a $0 delivery fee from Friday to Monday with code CYBER25, app and chipotle.com only. Black Friday 2026 falls on 27 November, and nothing has been announced yet.
- Open normally on Black Friday. Thanksgiving is the closure, not the Friday.
- The offer is free delivery, not discounted food.
- 2025: code CYBER25, Friday to Monday, $0 delivery fee.
- App and chipotle.com only — not third-party delivery apps.
- Black Friday 2026 is 27 November. Nothing announced yet.
- Watch around 20 November — that is when the 2025 offer was announced.
Open, With One Important Caveat
Chipotle trades normally on Black Friday. The caveat is the day before it — Thanksgiving Day is one of only two days Chipotle closes.
| Day | 2026 date | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Thanksgiving | Thursday 26 November 2026 | Closed |
| Black Friday | Friday 27 November 2026 | Open, normal hours |
On sourcing: the Thanksgiving closure was confirmed by a Chipotle spokesperson to USA TODAY, which is the strongest statement available. The Black Friday opening is an inference — Chipotle has never published a statement about it, but it ran a four-day promotion across Black Friday in 2025, which it could not do with restaurants shut.
The Cyber Weekend Offer
Chipotle does not discount food on Black Friday. It discounts delivery, and it runs the offer across the whole weekend. The 2025 terms, in full:
| Term | 2025 detail |
|---|---|
| Offer | $0 delivery fee |
| Code | CYBER25 |
| Window | Friday 28 November – Monday 1 December 2025 |
| Where | Chipotle app and chipotle.com only — “not valid through third-party delivery platforms” |
| Minimum order | $10 USD / $12 CAD, before tax and fees |
| Maximum order | $200, before tax and fees |
| Catch | “Higher menu prices apply for delivery” |
Note that Chipotle calls this Cyber Weekend and does not use the terms Black Friday or Cyber Monday in its own announcement, even though the window covers both.
Thanksgiving Eve Is the Better Deal
If you are planning around offers rather than hours, the strongest one in this period is not on Black Friday at all. In 2025 Chipotle ran a buy-one-get-one entrée offer on Thanksgiving Eve:
| Term | Detail |
|---|---|
| When | Wednesday 26 November 2025, 4pm to close, local time |
| Offer | Buy an entrée, get one free of equal or lesser value |
| Limit | Five free menu items per check |
| Exclusion | Kids’ meals do not count as the qualifying purchase |
| Where | In restaurant only — “not valid for catering, mobile, online, or delivery orders” |
A free entrée beats a waived delivery fee comfortably. The trade-off is that you have to go in person, on the busiest travel evening of the American year.
What to Expect in 2026
Chipotle has announced nothing for 2026 as of 29 October 2026. We are saying that rather than reprinting last year terms as if they were confirmed, which several sites already have.
What the timing suggests:
- The 2025 announcement landed on 20 November, about a week ahead.
- So a 2026 announcement around mid to late November would follow the pattern.
- Thanksgiving 2026 is Thursday 26 November; Black Friday is Friday 27 November.

The Mall Exception
One genuine hours trap on this particular day. A Chipotle inside a shopping mall keeps the mall hours, not Chipotle. On Black Friday malls often open far earlier than usual and close later, so that restaurant may open before 10:45am or run past its normal close.
The same applies in reverse: a mall food-court Chipotle that normally closes early will still close early. In New York City, for example, the Queens Center restaurant closes at 8:45pm every day because the food court does — nothing about Black Friday changes that.
Across the chain, opening at 10:45am is near-universal while closing time is set per restaurant, usually 10:00pm or 11:00pm. Check yours in the app. Our near me guide and hours hub cover the rest.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Chipotle open on Black Friday?
Yes, on normal hours. The confusion usually comes from the day before — Chipotle is closed on Thanksgiving Day itself, which a company spokesperson confirmed to USA TODAY. Black Friday is a normal trading day. Chipotle has not published a statement saying so, but it ran its own four-day promotion across Black Friday in 2025, which would be impossible with restaurants shut.
What is Chipotle’s Black Friday deal?
Chipotle does not discount food on Black Friday. Instead it runs what it calls Cyber Weekend: in 2025 that was a $0 delivery fee from Friday 28 November through Monday 1 December with the code CYBER25, valid only on the Chipotle app and chipotle.com. There was a $10 minimum and a $200 maximum order value, both before tax and fees.
Does the Chipotle Cyber Weekend code work on DoorDash or Uber Eats?
No. Chipotle’s own terms state the offer is “not valid through third-party delivery platforms” — it works only in the Chipotle app and on chipotle.com. It is also worth knowing that Chipotle charges higher menu prices for delivery regardless of the fee waiver, which its terms spell out as “higher menu prices apply for delivery”.
When will Chipotle announce its 2026 Black Friday offer?
It has not been announced as of 29 October 2026. In 2025 the announcement came on 20 November, about a week before the weekend itself, so mid to late November is the window to watch. Black Friday 2026 falls on Friday 27 November, with Thanksgiving on Thursday 26 November. We will update this page when Chipotle publishes.
Is Chipotle open on Thanksgiving?
No. A Chipotle spokesperson confirmed to USA TODAY that restaurants are closed on Thanksgiving Day. That is the only reliable sourcing available — Chipotle does not publish a holiday closure list of its own. Chipotle has, however, run a promotion on Thanksgiving Eve: in 2025 that was a buy-one-get-one entrée offer from 4pm to close, in restaurant only.
What was Chipotle’s Thanksgiving Eve offer?
In 2025, a buy-one-get-one-free entrée deal on Wednesday 26 November from 4pm to close, local time. The free item required buying an entrée of equal or greater value, with a limit of five free items per check. Kids’ meals did not count as the qualifying purchase, and the offer was in-restaurant only — not valid for catering, mobile, online or delivery orders.
What time does Chipotle close on Black Friday?
Normal hours, which depend on your restaurant. Opening at 10:45am is near-universal across the chain, but closing is set per restaurant and is usually 10:00pm or 11:00pm. The exception worth checking is any Chipotle inside a shopping mall — those follow the mall’s hours, and on Black Friday malls often open very early and close late, so that restaurant may not match its usual schedule either.
Does Chipotle get busy on Black Friday?
Chipotle publishes no traffic data, so we will not pretend to know. The reasonable expectation is that mall-located restaurants see heavier trade than usual given the shopping traffic around them, while standalone and office-district locations are quieter than a normal Friday because fewer people are at work. Ordering ahead in the app sidesteps the queue either way.
Methodology
Offer terms on this page are quoted from Chipotle own announcement of its 2025 Thanksgiving and Cyber Weekend promotions rather than paraphrased, because the restrictions are where these offers catch people out. The open status for Black Friday is an inference rather than a Chipotle statement: Chipotle publishes no holiday hours page or closure list, but it ran its own promotion across Black Friday itself in 2025, which it could not have done with restaurants shut. Nothing has been announced for 2026 as of 29 October 2026, and this page says that rather than presenting last year terms as though they were this year. We will update it when Chipotle publishes.
