Kroger reveals all 1,200 locations will change their hours for the entire day and Walmart isn’t any help

Kroger and other large merchants’ hours will be affected by an impending shopping blackout.

Holiday consumers will have to make advance plans as the grocery store will be changing its retail schedule for 24 hours in the next several days.

Thanksgiving, which falls on Thursday, November 28, is little over a week away.

Americans will be rushing to cook turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and other delicacies for the national holiday.

Since Thanksgiving will affect many grocery stores’ hours, anyone planning to prepare a Thanksgiving meal should arrange to obtain their ingredients before next Thursday.

Kroger will either close several of its locations for the day or only be open for a restricted number of hours.

“All stores open on Thanksgiving Day will close at 5 PM and the store’s opening hours will vary depending on the store,” said the grocer.

Make sure to contact or check in with your local Kroger store in advance to see if it’s open if you’re planning a last-minute Thanksgiving grocery trip.

The Kroger Company owns and runs more than 1,200 Kroger grocery stores in the United States.

The firm owns a number of other chains in addition to Kroger, including Fred Meyer, Ralphs, Food 4 Less, and Kwik Shop.

Thanksgiving is also anticipated to see these retailers open, though specific locations’ hours will differ.

The Kroger Company has 2,750 grocery stores under its many brands.

MORE THANKSGIVING HOURS

Don’t worry if you forget an ingredient on Thanksgiving and start to panic at the last minute.

Like Kroger, a few supermarkets will be open on Thanksgiving, but their hours will be shortened.

This includes Whole Foods, H.E.B., Food Lion, and Albertsons.

But a lot of supermarkets will be closed on Thursday of next week.

On Thanksgiving, Trader Joe’s, Aldi, BJ’s, Publix, Sam’s Club, Costco, and Target will all be closed.

Walmart, the retail behemoth, will also shutdown for the holiday, losing billions of dollars by closing its almost 5,000 sites for a single day.

Due of the pandemic, Walmart first closed its stores across the country on Thanksgiving in 2020.

Many other retailers followed suit and closed their stores to commemorate the holiday, marking a big shift.

Walmart will close for Thanksgiving for the fifth year in a row this year.

On Thanksgiving, a lot of well-known shopping locations will also be closed.

Macy’s won’t be much assistance, while Nordstrom stated that all 360 locations will be closed for the whole day.

As customers are advised to prepare for the holidays, Bath & Body Works will also close all 1,850 of its locations.
