Is Dollar General open on Thanksgiving?
Yes, we expect Dollar General will be open on Thanksgiving this year. Dollar General’s Thanksgiving hours are typically 7 a.m. – 10 p.m. (an hour past the regular closing time of 9 p.m.).
However, stores in Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island are typically not open on Thanksgiving. This is due to state laws that prohibit businesses from operating on holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Additionally, due to staffing shortages, some Dollar General locations closed earlier than others on Thanksgiving Day last year or didn’t open at all. This is because Dollar General has a policy that prohibits any employee from working alone after dark. The policy also allows them to close up shop if they don’t have another team member on duty.
Will Dollar General curbside pickup or delivery be available on Thanksgiving?
We predict Dollar General will again offer curbside pickup and delivery on Thanksgiving. In prior years, you could place an order for curbside pickup or delivery via DoorDash. Since it’s a major holiday, waiting times for these services may be longer than usual.
What are Thanksgiving Deal Days at Dollar General?
Starting on Thanksgiving Day and continuing through the Saturday after, Dollar General hosts a 3-day event known as Thanksgiving Deal Days. Here’s a peek at the holiday savings Dollar General offered in prior years on Thanksgiving:
BOGO 75% off any toys
50% off throws, blankets, and character bedding
BOGO 50% off Russell Stover or Whitman’s Chocolates
BOGO 50% off holiday candles
20% off multipack gift cards
