They're offering modified hours, welcoming shoppers from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the big day.
- Sprouts: Another early bird option, Sprouts opens its doors from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., giving you a little extra time to grab those fresh ingredients.
- CVS Pharmacy: While hours may vary, most CVS stores will close at 5 p.m., and their pharmacies will shut down at 2 p.m. So, if you need a quick prescription refill, plan accordingly!
- Walgreens: Here's a catch. Most Walgreens stores will be closed, but their 24-hour locations will remain open, ensuring access to essential pharmacy services. A true lifesaver for some!
- Kroger (including Ralphs and Food 4 Less): Kroger stores will be open, but only until 5 p.m. So, an early start is advised. Most of their pharmacies will be closed, though.
- Albertsons and Vons: These stores will also have varying hours, but generally, you can expect them to close at 4 p.m.
The Closed Gates:
- Trader Joe's, Costco, Target, Walmart, Aldi, BJ's Wholesale Club, and Sam's Club have decided to give their employees a break and will remain closed on Thanksgiving. But here's where it gets controversial—is it a fair decision for shoppers who rely on these stores for last-minute needs?
So, there you have it! A mix of open and closed stores, each with its own unique hours. But remember, this information is for 2025, and plans may change for future holidays. What's your take on these Thanksgiving hours? Are they convenient or a cause for frustration? Share your thoughts in the comments, especially if you've had a similar last-minute shopping experience!
