Thursday marks Thanksgiving, an occasion when family, friends and loved ones gather to celebrate, express gratitude and, for many, enjoy a few soccer games.
While several national chains and supermarkets close their doors on Thanksgiving, others remain open in case consumers need to purchase last-minute ingredients for their holiday gatherings.
The holiday closings contrast with past times, when shoppers used to wrap up Thanksgiving dinner early to head to malls or other stores to take advantage of Black Friday deals.
As for banks and post offices, consumers will likely want to plan their visits before or after the vacation, as most will also be closed for the holiday.
Here are the important details about bank and post office hours on Thanksgiving Day 2023.
