Places open on Thanksgiving 2021
What places are open on Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving 2021 is right around the corner and maybe you’re one of those people who forgot dessert or drinks for the big day. Maybe you’re one of those people that hate cooking and just hope that something, anything is open.
Well, we did our very best to compile a list of restaurants and retail stores that may in fact be open on Thanksgiving. Hours will vary from store to store depending on a variety of factors so it’s always wise to check with your local retailer or restaurant ahead of time to see if they’re open.
A good rule of thumb is to go earlier in the day if you need anything, as it’s far more likely that if these stores close, they’ll close very early.
