For those in need of a final grocery run, here’s a guide to which stores will open their doors on Thanksgiving and which will not. It’s important to note that this is a general overview, and store hours can vary by location. Many outlets may operate with modified hours or shut early, so it’s wise to check with your local store to confirm their schedule.

While you can count on some options being available, don’t look to Costco for your last-minute needs. The wholesale giant observes Thanksgiving as one of the seven holidays when its U.S. warehouses close, so you’ll need to plan around that.

This is a national list, and hours may vary locally. While some locations of these stores will be open on Thanksgiving Day, expect adjusted hours or early closures depending on location, and check with your local store for exact hours.
