As Thanksgiving approaches amid ongoing concerns about the upcoming 2024 presidential election and the Atlantic hurricane season, it’s understandable that many may feel unprepared. If you’re among those who need to pick up last-minute ingredients or grocery essentials, here’s a helpful guide to store hours for various retailers during the Thanksgiving holiday.
Aldi will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, but shoppers can find regular hours on the day before and then again on Black Friday. Similarly, BJ’s Wholesale Club will also be closed for the holiday, but will operate as usual prior and post-Thanksgiving.
CVS is one of the few retailers that will remain open on Thanksgiving, welcoming customers from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dollar General will have its doors open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., while Family Dollar will accommodate shoppers from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on the holiday.
Fresh Market will welcome customers on Thanksgiving from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. On the other hand, most Piggly Wiggly locations will operate between 6 a.m. and 3 p.m., though it’s wise to check with your local store for confirmation.
Publix, Sam’s Club, Target, Walmart, and Winn-Dixie will all close their doors on Thanksgiving, but will operate regular hours leading up to the holiday and resume standard hours the following day.
For those planning ahead, these hours can serve as a valuable resource during this busy time of year. Remember, planning your shopping trips can help reduce stress and ensure you have everything you need for a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration.
Overall, while some stores close for Thanksgiving, many remain open, providing an opportunity for last-minute shopping. This flexibility can help ease the Thanksgiving preparations, allowing families to focus on what truly matters: spending quality time together.
