You know what happens to the best-laid plans, right? They go awry—meaning that Thanksgiving shopping list you triple-checked was actually missing something. And odds are, you probably won’t notice it until Thanksgiving morning. Luckily, many supermarket chains are keeping their doors open on Thanksgiving for last-minute purchases.
Hours are subject to change regionally, so be sure to call the store before you run out. Here’s a general guide to the grocery stores you can count on come Thanksgiving day—and the ones that won’t be open, including some that are closing down for the holiday for the first time in years.
P.S. Not up for cooking this year? These fast food joints will stay open on Thanksgiving, and you can sit down for a meal at these restaurants on Turkey Day, too.
