Worried about last-minute turkey day grocery needs? Don’t worry; there are several grocery stores open on Thanksgiving Day. We know it’s hard to believe that time of year is right around the corner, with plans for how to spend Thanksgiving already in the works.

While your local store, even if it’s a national chain like Kroger, Meijer, or Albertsons, might be open, it’ll most likely be with reduced hours to give their team members the chance to celebrate the holiday with their family and friends.

Before you head out, contact your local grocery store to verify their Thanksgiving Day hours.
