**Which Stores Are Open on Thanksgiving 2024? Here's the Complete List**

Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, Nov. 28, 2024, and while many will spend the day relaxing or enjoying a feast with loved ones, some may find themselves needing last-minute groceries or looking to get ahead on holiday shopping.

Whether you forgot a key ingredient for dinner or want to start your Christmas shopping early, it’s helpful to know which stores are open.
