Grocery stores open on Thanksgiving 2019
The hours of local stores are subject to change, and it’s always best to call ahead.
CINCINNATI - Because Thanksgiving doesn’t always go according to plan, an emergency trip to the grocery store may be in order this year.
Whether you forgot an ingredient or have additional guests coming for dinner last minute, there are several national chains that will be open for at least part of the day.
Of course, the exact hours of local stores are subject to change — and it’s always best to call ahead before heading out of the door.
