Some Dallas-Fort Worth grocers open Thanksgiving day, even with Walmart, Target closed

Thanksgiving feasts require a lot of preparation, but even the best cooks might forget something. Guests may not have had time to buy a bottle of wine or just remembered they were bringing the rolls to dinner.

Grocers know that and several supermarkets will be open Thursday long enough so that customers can pick up pre-ordered cooked turkeys and side dishes.

But not everyone is open. Don’t go running to your local Walmart or Target. Both of those chains have started closing on Thanksgiving day since the pandemic and have made it a permanent holiday for their frontline workers. Aldi, Costco, Market Street, Sam’s Club, Target, Trader Joe’s and Walmart are also closed on Thanksgiving Day.

The day is short at many local supermarkets. Some ethnic stores stay open longer.
