As you get ready for the perfect Thanksgiving dinner, you might find yourself rummaging through your spice rack on the morning of the big meal to find that one spice you forgot to add to your juicy turkey recipe.
But don’t give up and think about getting Thanksgiving dinner to go too quickly. After all, you’re putting up holiday traditions with your family. Some Southern California grocery shops and pharmacies, like Safeway and Albertsons, will be open on Thanksgiving.
Still, a lot of stores will be closed, like Walmart and Target, which changed their holiday hours in 2021 to give workers a day off to spend with their families. To make sure they’re open, you should always call ahead if you need an extra pound of butter or an onion to finish cooking your Thanksgiving meal.

Grocery Stores Closed on Thanksgiving
Some shops, like Publix, will be closed on Thanksgiving, but Whole Foods will be open (though only for a few hours). There will also be a number of booze stores open for those who want to make a Thanksgiving-themed drink.
If you need a snack to get you through the big meal, you might want to stop at one of your favorite fast food places. That way, you won’t let your hunger make you buy things you don’t need. Also, since not all shops will be open during normal business hours, you should call the one closest to you before you go.
