Thanksgiving Grocery Stores: Open And Closed — Publix, BJ's, More

NEW YORK, NY — We’ve all been there. It’s Thanksgiving morning. The oven is warm, the kitchen is toasty and the turkey is stuffed. You turn to the potatoes and it hits you like a ton of bricks — you forgot to buy gravy.

Don’t fret, you’re not alone. Few things seem to be able to unify Americans these days, but one of them is that overwhelming feeling of dread when you realize a key ingredient for that perfect Thanksgiving feast never made it into the shopping cart. For some people it'll be cranberry sauce. For others, it'll be bread rolls.

Fortunately, many grocery stores will remain open on "Turkey Day," at least for a little while. And we’ve rounded them up for your convenience so that you don’t have to hear Uncle Timmy once again complain that the mashed potatoes would be perfect if only he had just a little gravy.
