Is Dollar General open on Thanksgiving?
Yes, Dollar General stores are open from 7 a.m. – 10 p.m. (an hour past the regular closing time of 9 p.m.) for in-person shopping on Thanksgiving. Stores in Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island will not open — due to state blue laws that prohibit businesses from operating on holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. Regardless, you may find your Dollar General closing earlier than other locations or not open at all on Thanksgiving due to staff shortages. Dollar General has a policy prohibiting any employee from working alone after dark and allows them to close up shop if they don’t have another team member working. Call your nearby Dollar General for operating hours.
Will Dollar General curbside pickup or delivery be available on Thanksgiving?
Yes, you can place an order for curbside pickup or delivery via DoorDash on Thanksgiving. Because it’s a major holiday, waiting times for these services may take longer than usual.
What are Thanksgiving Deal Days at Dollar General?
