Grocery stores open for food on Thanksgiving

On Thursday, 25 November, people across the US will gather with their family and friends to celebrate Thanksgiving, an annual holiday to commemorate all that they are grateful for.

One of the key components of the day is a lavish Thanksgiving dinner. While dishes vary among states, families and cultures, a roast turkey is usually central to the meal.

However, as is often the case when it comes to major celebrations, an ingredient or two can get missed during the planning.

Thankfully, a number of stores are still open on the public holiday. We recommend double checking in your local area for opening times before visiting.

Closed grocery stores

Many retailers have decided to keep their stores closed this Thanksgiving.

Some, like Walmart, said they had chosen not to open as a thank you to their staff and to give them the opportunity to spend the day with their loved ones.

On Monday, 22 November, Target announced that it would permanently close its doors on Thanksgiving.

In a statement, Target CEO Brian Cornell said staff members has expressed how “thankful” they are stores would not open on Thanksgiving.

He said changes to the retailer’s operations during the pandemic had helped identify “new ways to help guests get holiday deals earlier than ever in the season”, allowing stores to close on the annual holiday.

The following stores will remain closed.

• Aldi
• BJ’s Wholesale Club
• Costco
• Giant Eagle
• Natural Grocers
• Publix
• Sam’s Club
• Target
