You made your grocery list, checked it twice, went shopping four times – and yet, you still forgot an essential item for your Thanksgiving dinner.
It happens to the best of us. Whether you realize you need more Thanksgiving side dishes or a second turkey, or you discover you ran out of toilet paper an hour before your guests arrive, chances are you’ll need to make a quick supermarket run on Thanksgiving.
Not to worry, because several grocery stores will stay open for the holiday to meet your needs.
Since every location’s hours can change, be sure to call your local store before heading out. (Note: Target and Walmart, which are usually open for Thanksgiving, have announced that they will close for the holiday this year due to the pandemic.)
If you prefer delivery, Amazon Prime members in participating cities can take advantage of free, two-hour delivery available with Prime Now. Or, if you’d rather have someone else do the cooking, certain restaurants and fast food joints will be open for Thanksgiving too.
While exact hours and locations are subject to change as we approach Thanksgiving (which falls on November 26), here’s what we know so far about which grocery stores will be open.
