Have you ever made a shopping list, hit the store, and then realized you left the list at home and had no idea what you needed? During the holidays, this is definitely something we have done plenty of times. And on Thanksgiving morning, you may find yourself needing to make a grocery trip to Kroger if that happens to you.

When it comes to holiday shopping, there are plenty of options available for snagging those grocery needs, but in many ways (and for many reasons) Kroger is definitely one of our go-tos.

No matter what you need, we often find it at Kroger. But does this include our last minute Thanksgiving needs?

Is Kroger closed on Thanksgiving Day 2022?

If you find yourself missing the pumpkin pie, stuffing, or any of the other must haves for Thanksgiving Day, then you are in luck because Kroger will in fact be open on November 24.

According to Romper,

"The grocery chain will be open on Turkey Day, though some stores may operate with reduced hours. That means you can still snag a bag of flour for your Thanksgiving baking the morning of."

While most Kroger locations open at 6 A.M. and close at 11 P.M., with it being a holiday stores will be operating with reduced hours. This means that you will want to check with your local store before heading on over in the morning or even if that grocery trip is happening later in the day.

We recommend checking the grocery chain’s website for your local Kroger’s hours on Thanksgiving Day as that will definitely make it easier for you when planning that unexpected trip to the grocery store.

With Kroger being open on Thanksgiving Day that definitely eases our mind when it comes to forgetting the cranberry sauce or mashed potatoes.
