What do you call a place which is temporarily closed because it's a holiday?

When it's holiday and some company/firm/business place is temporarily closed, How do you express that?

For example:

Bob: I'm going to the Apple Store on Queens Road tomorrow, care to join me?

Alice: I think that Apple Store is ____ tomorrow.

I don't know if using closed here is quite right, because it's temporary and I'd like to say it's only because of the holiday. So I'm looking for a more precise word to express "temporarily closed because of the holiday".

Update: In my native language (Persian), We have a single word to describe a place which is temporarily closed just because it's a holiday. It's different than "closed" because they can be "closed" for various reasons but when you use that word it means they are particularly closed because of the holiday. I was hoping to find an equivalent in English.


Solution 1:

While closed is correct and the most common, the people of (at least) Great Britain also use the word shut

In which case, to say that a store is shut today suggests that it is only temporary.

There again, you could just use " the store is not open today" to mean the same thing.

Solution 2:

It's fine to say "closed" to just mean "not open", eg "The shop is closed on sundays.". To avoid confusion between temporary closure and permanent closure, when a shop goes out of business people would often say it has closed down.

Solution 3:

The answer is closed. When a shop is not open it is closed, irrespective of the reason - holiday, fire, renovation, bankruptcy, epidemic of plague etc.

And the comment from @568ml is pertinent. If you say it is closed, without further qualification such as -"tomorrow", "on Mondays", "until the end of the month" etc. it could be taken to mean that it is closed permanently.

Clearly the latter would not necessarily be the case if you said something like I just came from there and it is closed. That would simply report the fact that at that moment it was closed.

At least that's the position in Britain.

And as regards your update: That is interesting about the Persian. In Britain we would say something like it is closed for the bank holiday. (A bank holiday just means a public holiday - like Good Friday or Easter Monday)
