Many retailers close their doors on Thanksgiving 2024 Day, observing what is, after all, a national holiday and offering their employees a well-earned rest ahead of the busy holiday shopping season. But some stores, restaurants, and food suppliers stay open to serve customers in search of essentials and last-minute Turkey Day ingredients.
If you’re looking for a quick cup of coffee for a midday boost, Starbucks and Dunkin’ should also be open on Thanksgiving 2024, although hours also vary by location.
