What grocery stores are closed for Thanksgiving?
If you need to trot to a store on Thanksgiving for a forgotten item or replacement turkey, you’ll find yourself face-to-face with a “we’re closed” sign at some major retailers.
Notably, Walmart and Target announced earlier this year that they would again close their doors for Thanksgiving, continuing a trend that began during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Also closing their doors for Thanksgiving are Aldi, BJ’s Wholesale, Costco, Sam’s Club, and Trader Joe’s.
If you’re really in a pinch, many gas stations and convenience stores remain open for Thanksgiving, as do a number of restaurants.
