Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and you’re working on your holiday menu...but if past feasts have taught you one thing, it’s that things don’t always go according to plan. There was that one year when your flaky sister “forgot” to pick up the green beans she promised to bring for the casserole, or that time your toddler destroyed dessert by adding copious amounts of salt to the pie filling behind your back, plus the ever-present risk that your mental math skills will fail you and you’ll realize you don’t have enough butter left to make one of your turkey day side dishes. Indeed, there are plenty of scenarios in which a last-minute grocery run is required to save the holiday. Fortunately, we’ve put together a list of grocery stores open on Thanksgiving across the country, so there will be no fiasco you can’t fix. (Just be sure to double check our work by visiting the website or ringing up your local store before you go, as individual stores may vary.)
