According to The Sun , Shoppers preparing for the holiday season will want to carefully plan their grocery lists and shopping trips this year, as BJ’s Wholesale Club has announced it will close all 210 locations for an entire day in late November. This closure aligns with Costco’s similar announcement and reflects a growing trend among retailers opting to give employees time off on Thanksgiving.

Along with BJ’s and Costco, other major stores like Target, Walmart, and Aldi will also close on Thanksgiving Day, limiting options for those who may need to grab a forgotten item at the last minute. While thoughtful preparation can help prevent last-minute grocery runs, countless home cooks find themselves short on essentials like spices, butter, or whipping cream as they prepare their holiday meals.

Aside from BJ’s and Costco, many other retail chains—including Home Depot, Michaels, Kohl’s, and Best Buy—will also close for the holiday. Additionally, grocery staples like Trader Joe’s, Publix, and Aldi will remain closed, further reducing options for last-minute shoppers.

This commitment to employee time off during Thanksgiving is shared by several brands prioritizing family and rest over holiday sales. Although it may inconvenience some shoppers, the closures are intended to provide retail employees a chance to spend the holiday with their loved ones.

For those who find themselves in a pinch on Thanksgiving Day, a few grocery stores and convenience retailers will stay open with limited hours. Here are some options:

  • Acme Markets: Open from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., though hours may vary by location.
  • Albertsons: Select stores will operate from 6 a.m. to at least 3 p.m.
  • C-Town Supermarkets: Open from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., depending on location.
  • Kroger: Open but with reduced hours.
  • Food Lion: Many locations will remain open, with some closing early.
  • Whole Foods Market: Open with modified hours.

To avoid a last-minute scramble, it’s best for shoppers to take stock of their needs and plan ahead. For any forgotten items, these open stores will offer limited options for a quick trip on Thanksgiving morning.
