Thanksgiving is a time to express gratitude for everything you're thankful for, delight in a delicious meal and enjoy the company of loved ones.
But for those needing last-minute ingredients for a Thanksgiving meal or those hoping to get a jumpstart on Black Friday shopping, some stores will be open. A number, however, will be operating on modified hours -- or will be closed to allow employees time to spend with friends and family. In some cases, hours differ by location, so it might be a good idea to check with your local store before stopping by.
