However, while many businesses, including Target and Walmart, will keep their doors closed on the holiday, some major stores, especially grocery and food service chains, will likely be open on Thanksgiving in 2022. Last year, stores including Whole Foods, Dollar General, Kroger and other supermarkets within the Kroger family were open on Thanksgiving Day, and at least some businesses will be open again this year, whether for full or reduced hours. Store hours may still be subject to change and may vary by location. So, it’s worth double-checking that your local store is open before heading out to grab those last-minute ingredients for Thanksgiving dinner, or items needed for Thanksgiving activities and Thanksgiving crafts! We will be updating this list as more businesses confirm their Thanksgiving Day opening details.
