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.

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.
