Thanksgiving can be hectic as people scramble to finish their meals. They may even have to go to the store on Thanksgiving Day to pick up that forgotten jar of whipped cream, bottle of wine, or bag of apples.

While you won’t find just any store open, there are some options, although hours may be unusual. These include some of the larger grocers as well as names associated with flexible working hours.

And whatever the case, these last-minute shoppers probably won’t be the only people in the stores. According to FMI, a trade group that represents the grocery industry, 5% of those who celebrate Thanksgiving are shopping this Thursday. Still, many are heading out earlier, with more than 20% making their purchases up to a week in advance. According to a USDA report, Americans spend more than two hours preparing and cleaning up meals on Thanksgiving, compared to less than half on other holidays.

Whatever challenges you may be facing, here are some of the top names for local Thanksgiving grocery shopping for Dallas-Fort Worth.
