Publix, Walmart, Kroger, Piggly Wiggly & more: These SC grocery stores are open Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving is just a few days away — do you have everything you need?
For many in the South, Thanksgiving means hours of preparing a lavish meal, spending time with large families and watching football. Some will pack local restaurants, but most others will have home-cooked meals.
And whether you are making the meal yourself or bringing food to a grandparent’s home, oftentimes during the hustle and bustle of the week, you’ll forget that one key ingredient or necessary side. And that means a quick trip to a grocery store.
However, not all grocery stores are open on Thanksgiving, while some only have limited hours.
Here’s which big chains in South Carolina will be open on Thanksgiving.
Publix
Publix likes to close for major holidays and Thanksgiving is no exception. All Publix will be closed on Thanksgiving Day
Whole Foods Market
Whole Foods Market will be open on Thanksgiving. However, most stores will have modified hours for the holiday, so shoppers should call their local store for details.
Target
Whether you have a Target with a large grocery store section or a small one, the result will be the same come Thanksgiving Day — closed.
Piggly Wiggly
Most Piggly Wiggly stores should be open on Thanksgiving Day. However, each store is independently owned and operated, meaning the hours for them can vary. You can contact your local store for details. To search for Piggly Wiggly locations, click here.

Like it’s competitor Target, Walmart will be closed on Thanksgiving Day.
“Walmart stores will be closed once again on Thanksgiving Day so associates can spend the day with their families,” a Walmart press release states.

Food Lion fans in South Carolina are in luck! The grocery chain will operate normal business hours on Thanksgiving Day, a company spokesman said. Customers are directed to look at in store signs or the website for specific times when their local Food Lion is open.
