What are Kroger’s Thanksgiving Hours?

Now you may be wondering what Kroger’s Thanksgiving hours are, but the answer to that isn’t totally straightforward. Kroger stores typically operate on a modified schedule during the holiday season—opening early to accommodate last-minute shoppers—but they also close early to allow employees time with their families.

If you are wondering if your local Kroger will be open on Thanksgiving, it’s best to check their specific hours so that you can be sure to get in and out before they close. Most stores will share the modified hours online, but you can also call your store to check the hours. 

Be mindful that Kroger may have limited staff on Thanksgiving, so you could run into problems getting someone on the phone. To make sure you don’t panic on Thanksgiving, call your local store a day or two before the holiday and write down the hours so if you do need to make a last-minute store run, you know when to go.
