Thanksgiving is a time for family, for thanks for your blessings, and, of course for food.

There is food right?

RIGHT?!

Well, if anyone forgot anything that's when you're reminded that many stores are closed on Thanksgiving so those employees can spend time with their families, but a few stores choose to remain open for your convenience.

When I worked at Rite Aid in the late '90s we were open on Thanksgiving and were met with several people who may peek their head inside and ask, "are you guys open today?" I had fun working on those holidays as everyone was so nice and thankful that we were still open. Maybe not for the full regular hours, but still open during the main part of it. I loved it.

Well, Rite Aid is still on the list of stores that will be open on Thanksgiving Day along with several others.

Again, they may not be open typical hours. Some may have adjusted hours or close very early so employees can still enjoy a meal at home with their family.

Check your stores local hours just in case.
