Thanksgiving: a day for family, food, and...realizing you forgot the cranberry sauce! Don't panic! While many businesses close their doors to allow employees to celebrate, some remain open to rescue your holiday.
Wondering what's open on Thanksgiving? Expect most major grocery store chains to be closed or operating on reduced hours, so plan ahead! Drugstores like CVS and Walgreens are usually a safe bet for last-minute needs. Many gas stations and convenience stores also stay open.
For dining out, some restaurants, particularly chain restaurants and those catering to travelers, offer Thanksgiving meals. Call ahead to confirm hours and make reservations. Movie theaters are another popular option, providing entertainment for the whole family.
Before venturing out, always double-check the specific hours of operation for your local stores and restaurants. A quick phone call or a visit to their website can save you a Thanksgiving Day disappointment. Happy Thanksgiving!
