Which grocery stores are open on Thanksgiving?

Most major grocery chains will operate on reduced hours for Thanksgiving, while Massachusetts stores remain closed due to state blue laws restricting holiday openings.

  • On Thursday, Nov. 27, many big-box chains will be closed while grocery chains including Amazon Fresh, Kroger, and Whole Foods operate with reduced or limited hours.
  • In Massachusetts, colonial-era "Blue Laws" bar grocery openings on Thanksgiving, but gas stations, restaurants, pharmacies, and food stores with three or fewer employees can legally open.
  • Store-by-Store schedules show staggered early closures and limited services on Thanksgiving: Food Lion and Giant Eagle close at 3 p.m., Harris Teeter at 2 p.m. with pharmacy closed, Sprouts open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Walgreens keeps only 24-hour locations open.
  • Shoppers should check local store hours before heading out for last-minute needs, as some pharmacies at chains like Giant Eagle and Harris Teeter may be closed on Thanksgiving.
  • Retailers have kept reduced or no-Thanksgiving opening policies since the pandemic, and warehouses in the U.S. close on seven holidays, shaping ongoing holiday scheduling policies.
