Because it’s a national holiday, a lot of offices and businesses stay closed so employees can enjoy the break. But not every store follows the same pattern. Some shops stay open for a few hours, while others shut down completely.
Dollar stores are usually the first choice when you need something last-minute, especially simple household items, small decorations, snacks, or basic cooking needs. So if you realize on Thanksgiving morning that you’ve run out of foil, paper plates, or napkins, you may want to know which stores are open.
Here is a clear and simple list of Dollar store hours for Thanksgiving Day 2025.
