What is what store is open on thanksgiving?

Most traditional brick-and-mortar retail stores are closed on Thanksgiving Day in the United States. However, some stores, particularly those in the convenience, fast food, and gas station sectors, remain open. The trend in recent years has been for larger retailers to shift away from opening on Thanksgiving, focusing instead on Black Friday sales.

To find out definitively which stores are open near you on Thanksgiving, it's best to:

  • Check the store's website: Most major chains will publish their holiday hours on their website, often in an FAQ section or a news/press release.
  • Use a search engine: Search for "[Store name] Thanksgiving hours [your city/zip code]" to find the most up-to-date information.
  • Call the store directly: This is the most reliable method to confirm their hours.

Keep in mind that even within a chain, hours can vary by location, so always check the specific store's information.
