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 last-minute shoppers options as Thanksgiving Day approaches.
  • Due to colonial-era rules in Massachusetts, 'Blue Laws' bar most grocery openings on Thanksgiving, allowing only food stores with three or fewer employees to operate.
  • Chain-Specific plans show differing cutoffs, for example Whole Foods Markets opens early and closes by 1 p.m., Wegmans closes at 4 p.m., and Walgreens keeps only 24-hour locations open for pharmacy services.
  • Shoppers should check local store hours because many pharmacies will be closed even where stores remain open, restricting prescription access and some retailers close so store employees can spend time with family.
  • A broad list shows many big-name chains closed on Nov. 27, including Aldi, Costco, Target and Walmart, with the report counting 16 open chains and 20 closed.
