Even the most prepared grocery shoppers aren't safe from forgetting an important ingredient every once in a while. The issue is when that mishap takes place on a special, food-centric holiday like Thanksgiving when your favorite grocery chains may be closed down for the day.
If you're located in an area with Publix (lucky you!), you're probably wondering "Is Publix open on Thanksgiving Day in case of emergencies?" and I'm here to let you know the answer. Unfortunately, the popular grocery chain is not open on Thanksgiving. Publix grocery stores and pharmacies are not open on Thanksgiving so keep that in mind when it comes to your planning and be sure to hit up your location leading up to Turkey Day.
This shouldn't be much of a surprise as a lot of big-name grocery stores stay closed on Thanksgiving Day, which falls on November 25 this year. The good news is that if you're really in a time crunch, you can always depend on these chain restaurants to be open in case you want a quick meal or forgot something super important for your table. But if you were hoping to get a Pub Sub to pregame your mashed potatoes that option is off the table.
In years prior, Publix has been open for business as usual on Black Friday following Thanksgiving so you can always grab that extra cranberry sauce and gravy for the leftovers you're sure to be eating. More is more when it comes to Thanksgiving!
