Grocery Stores Open, Closed On Christmas 2019 In Rhode Island

Christmas isn't the best time for last-second grocery shopping in Rhode Island. Your options are very limited for full-service grocery stores, so if you waited on the roast beast, it might be too late.

Most major food stores, like Stop & Shop, Target, Trader Joe's and Walmart, will close early Christmas Eve and be closed throughout Christmas Day, reopening at normal hours on Dec. 26.

Places like CVS, Rite-Aid, Aldi and Walgreen may be your best hope at grabbing anything to eat in a pinch. The pharmacies will be closed at those locations, and even most 24-hour locations will close early Christmas.

But as proof that Christmas miracles do happen: Many Dunkin' and Starbucks locations will be open. Of course, hours will vary.

Below is a list of what stores are open and closed Christmas. Call ahead before going anywhere.

• CVS: Open, but pharmacies are closed.
• Rite Aid: Open, but pharmacies are closed.
• Walgreens: Open, but pharmacies are closed.
• Dunkin': Many are open, but hours will vary.
