LONG ISLAND, NY — Some grocery stores and pharmacies on Long Island will open on Thanksgiving, including King Kullen, CVS, Stop & Shop and more.

Many others will close, however, including Walmart and Target, both of which readjusted their holiday hours in 2021 to give employees a day off to spend with their families.

As always, if you need another pound of butter or an onion to finish cooking your Thanksgiving meal, it’s a good idea to call ahead to make sure they’re open.
