As the holiday feast approaches, many find themselves needing a last-minute grocery run. If you’re one of those last-minute planners, don’t fret—there are options available on Thanksgiving Day.
In Washington, the countdown to Thanksgiving often comes with a flurry of activity, and sometimes that includes forgetting a crucial ingredient or supply. Despite many major retailers such as Walmart, Target, and Costco closing their doors for the holiday, a number of grocery stores remain open with modified hours to accommodate those last-minute needs.
For those who thrive under pressure or simply missed an item on their list, there are still opportunities to shop on Thanksgiving Day. However, it’s important to note that store hours will likely be reduced, and some may close earlier than usual. It’s advisable to reach out to your local store directly to confirm their specific hours of operation on Thanksgiving.
Whether it’s a forgotten spice or an extra dessert, knowing which stores are open can save the day. Check with your nearby locations to ensure your holiday feast is complete without a hitch.
