Which grocery stores are open on Thanksgiving?

Massachusetts enforces colonial-era Blue Laws restricting grocery store openings on Thanksgiving while many other U.S. chains open with reduced hours, including Kroger and Whole Foods.

  • On Thursday, Nov. 27, many grocery chains will operate with reduced hours, providing options for last-minute shoppers on Thanksgiving Day.
  • In Massachusetts, 'Blue Laws' restrict most grocery openings on Thanksgiving and only allow food stores with three or fewer employees to open, due to colonial-era rules.
  • Retailers gave varied schedules: Whole Foods Markets is adjusting hours, Wegmans will close at 4 p.m., and Walgreens will keep only 24-hour locations open for pharmacy services.
  • Pharmacy access changes mean many pharmacies will be closed even where stores remain open, restricting prescriptions; shoppers should check local hours because store employees face adjusted or early closures.
  • A list shows 16 major chains, including Aldi, Costco, Target, and Walmart, will be closed on Nov. 27 this year, with some exceptions in Massachusetts due to 'Blue Laws' and legal restrictions.
