Thanksgiving Grocery Store Hours 2025

The past year has whizzed by quickly and it’s already Thanksgiving week. While many of us might be thankful that 2025 is almost over, we still have a couple of major holidays to get through. Turkeys must be roasted (or fried), pumpkin pies must be baked and Aunt Bertha must have her sweet, crappy wine. 

While some of us (ahem) plan menus and write out grocery lists, others seem to fly by the seat of their pants when it comes to preparing for the holidays. Some folks are swamped at work, some folks are waiting on paychecks and some folks are just plain ol’ procrastinators. And even those of us who are uber-organized can be blindsided by that cousin who decided at the last minute to bring the entire rugby team for dinner.

Here’s a list of grocery stores in which to grab that forgotten can of cranberry sauce, or much-needed ibuprofen, to get you through the experience. Happy Turkey Day!
