Food and Liquor Stores Open Thanksgiving Day

It's bound to happen to one of us: Thanksgiving morning arrives, you're ready to put the turkey in the oven, and you realize you've forgotten the carrots...or was it the butter...maybe even the turkey itself. 

Even more importantly, you also forget that bottle of wine — you know, the one that will help you get through the day.

What to do? Go last-minute shopping, of course. As with years past, local area retailers, including Publix, Walmart, Trader Joe's, and Target, will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, but there are still plenty of spots open to make those last-minute purchases.

This year, the stores below will be open and selling everything from basic necessities and liquor, entire meals to go, and dinner and dessert essentials on Thanksgiving Day.
