Ohio Christmas Grocery Stores: Open, Closed — Giant Eagle, More

We've all been there — it's early on Christmas morning, the lights are on, the presents are wrapped, and everything is perfect...except, you just remembered you don't have any milk. How are you going to make Christmas cookies without milk? You'll have to make a grocery store run.

But it’s Christmas Day! Who could possibly be open in Ohio? Fear not. Patch is here to help. That’s why we reached out to major grocery chains nationwide, including Walmart, Target, Giant Eagle and Whole Foods, to find out where you can go and when.

Below is a list of grocery stores that will be open on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Many have varying hours, so always remember to double check with the store to make sure the doors aren’t locked when you arrive. Patch has noted the stores that did not respond to repeated requests for Christmas store hours. Patch will update the hours as more trickle in.
