Picture this: A few hours before guests arrive, you realize that you somehow forgot to pick up a can of cranberry sauce during your grocery run earlier in the week. And while you can always try making your own, the store-bought stuff has become a Thanksgiving tradition of sorts.

Luckily, you have just enough time to hop in the car and save the day. The catch: You're not sure if your local grocery stores are actually open on Thanksgiving.

In recent years, some major retailers have announced plans to shut their doors on Thanksgiving to give their employees time to rest and recharge before the Black Friday madness kicks in.

Last year, Target announced that they'll stay closed for Thanksgiving going forward. “Target will be closed on Thanksgiving Day this year. Guests can visit Target’s Store Locator to confirm hours at their specific location,” a Target spokesperson tells TODAY.com.

The same goes for Walmart. Walmart U.S. CEO John Furner told Savannah Guthrie on TODAY that being open on Thanksgiving is "a thing of the past."

Even though select big-box retailers will be closed this year, we've got some good news: There are still plenty of stores open on Thanksgiving for all your last-minute shopping needs. Keep in mind that many stores are operating with modified holiday hours, so call your nearest location ahead of time to avoid any disappointment on the day of.
