Veterans Day: Here's a List of Deals and What's Open and Closed
The Department of Veterans Affairs reports discounts as high as 30 percent at various retailers, honoring those who served with a variety of complimentary services and goods.
- Businesses across Maryland are honoring veterans and active-duty military today, Nov. 11, 2026, with free meals and discounts; national chains like Applebee and Chili are among those providing special offers to recognize their service.
- Originally known as Armistice Day, the federal holiday commemorates the end of World War I on Nov. 11, 1918. President Woodrow Wilson established it in 1919; President Dwight D. Eisenhower later signed legislation renaming it Veterans Day in 1954.
- Participating chains such as Red Robin and Bonefish Grill offer complimentary meals for veterans, while families can receive 30 percent off in-store purchases at Kohl or a free 12-ounce coffee at Starbucks locations.
- Most promotions require valid military identification or proof of service, and availability varies by location. Customers should contact local restaurants to confirm participation, as many offers are dine-in only and exclude beverages or gratuities.
- Although banks and post offices are closed for the holiday, major retailers like Walmart, Costco, and Publix remain open today. The U.S. stock market will also remain open on Nov. 11.
