What stores are open on Thanksgiving?
Costco, Whole Foods, Starbucks and McDonald’s give a standing list or page that names no year, so it is not a 2026 announcement. Where Sam’s Club, Dollar General, Lowe’s and Walgreens gave no 2026 hours, the table shows the most recent earlier statement we found in brackets, with its year; that is not a 2026 schedule. Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Walgreens, Kohl’s and Best Buy name 2026 dates in their statements.
