Grocery stores and pharmacies

Grocery stores and pharmacies are the main exception to Thanksgiving closures. FreshCalendars says many open Thanksgiving morning with shorter hours. We haven't confirmed chain-by-chain 2026 hours yet, so check your store's page or app, and don't leave your Thanksgiving shopping until the last minute.
