As the holiday season approaches, it’s easy to overlook a crucial ingredient for your Thanksgiving meal. However, finding a store that’s open on Thanksgiving Day can be challenging, with many major retailers closing their doors.

This year, big names like Walmart and Target have announced their stores will not be open on Thanksgiving Day, continuing their recent tradition of giving employees the day off.

On the bright side, several major grocery chains plan to remain open on Thanksgiving, albeit likely with reduced hours. It’s advisable to check with your local store to confirm their schedule.

CVS

CVS locations will generally be open, though hours may differ by location. It’s worth noting that their pharmacy sections might only operate between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. To avoid any inconvenience, you can verify the specific hours for your nearest CVS online.

Dollar General

Most Dollar General stores will be open for Thanksgiving and hours can be confirmed online or in the DG app.

Giant Eagle and Market District

Both Giant Eagle and Market District stores will be open until 3 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, a company spokesperson confirmed, though their pharmacies will be closed. Giant Eagle Express locations will be open for regular hours.

Kroger

The Kroger family of stores will close early on Thanksgiving Day, and pharmacies are expected to be closed. You can confirm your location’s hours online.

Sprout’s

Your nearby Sprouts store will be open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Turkey Day, according to the company.

Walgreens

Though most Walgreens locations will close for Thanksgiving, its 24-hour locations will remain open, the company confirmed.

Wegmans

Like others on this list, Wegmans stores will close early on Thanksgiving, while their pharmacies will be closed. You can confirm store hours online.

Whole Foods

Like others on this list, most Whole Foods stores are expected to be open on Thanksgiving. You can confirm store hours online.

Before visiting any store on Thanksgiving, whether it’s listed above or not, it’s best to confirm its hours online or over the phone.

Which retailers are closing for Thanksgiving?

There are several companies that are, once again, shutting their doors for the holiday.

That includes Aldi, Costco, Publix, Sam’s Club, Target, Trader Joe’s and Walmart.

Should you find yourself needing a snack while commuting to your Thanksgiving dinner, or a forgotten item for said dinner, most gas stations and convenience stores remain open for Thanksgiving, as do some restaurants.
