Thanksgiving is coming right up — on Thursday, November 24. One thing that would probably be handy to know is which grocery chains will be open on the holiday, and which will not. After all, it’s pretty much a given that you’re going to forget some key ingredient — whether it’s an extra stick of butter for the mashed potatoes or marshmallows to top off your sweet potato casserole — and need to run out to grab it at the last minute.
Who wants to suffer the disappointment of zipping out – with guests due any minute – only to discover an empty supermarket parking lot and the door that usually automatically opens to welcome you … locked and shuttered. That’s why we’ve compiled the below list of which major chains will be open to handle your last-minute Thanksgiving needs. Of course, holiday hours may vary by location, so it’s best to call ahead or visit the supermarket’s website before heading out, but the below information is a good place to get started.
