If you need to head to the grocery store at the last minute before cooking your Thanksgiving meal, your options are limited on Thursday. Many food retailers are closing their doors for the Thanksgiving holiday to give their workers a chance to enjoy the day with their families, such as Aldi and Costco.
Meijer, however, is an option. The superstore is staying open on Thanksgiving but closing earlier than normal.
