7 Michigan Stores That Are Actually Open on Thanksgiving 2025

There’s nothing worse than starting to prepare Thanksgiving dinner only to realize you’re missing a key ingredient or something important. Or how about forgetting that you promised to bring a dish to a family gathering, and suddenly you’re in full panic mode? It happens every single year.

The good news is, not every store in Michigan totally shuts down on Thanksgiving. Some places will still be open, even if they’re running shorter holiday hours, which means you might be able to save yourself from showing up empty-handed or disappointing the family. Imagine the look on their face if you showed up without the booze you were supposed to bring.
