Best Buy and Walmart are among the stores open on Thanksgiving Day

Everyone knows the feeling: it’s 1 p.m. on the last Thursday of November, and you forgot something for the Thanksgiving side dish you’re bringing.

But, fear not. Whether you forgot to buy potatoes or you need a new burgundy sweater to wear to your cousin’s house, there are stores open on Thanksgiving Day.

While many stores like Home Depot and Staples have chosen to stay closed on Thanksgiving this year, others are taking advantage of the business opportunity. Stores open on Thanksgiving and other holidays has been a trend in recent years, especially for country-wide chains — and stores with large Black Friday sales going on.
