In June, retail giant Walmart announced it will close all stores on Thanksgiving Day this year, a move the company said is a "thank you" to store employees for their hard work through the coronavirus pandemic.

Walmart's decision follows a similar one by competitor Target, which announced in January that stores would also close this Thanksgiving.

The two giant retailers Walmart and Target are among many companies that have faced criticism for remaining open on Thanksgiving and keeping workers from spending the holiday with their families. In response, a growing number of retailers including Costco, Lowe's and Hobby Lobby have started closing stores on the holiday.

Still, a number of stores remain open on Thanksgiving Day, according to lists compiled by Good Housekeeping, Country Living, NBC Chicago and more. Here are a few — and as always, it’s a good idea to check your local store’s hours.

CVS: Stores will be open on Thanksgiving, but hours may vary by location.
Dollar General: Stores will be open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Five Below: Stores will be open from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Thanksgiving.
Michaels: Stores open at 6 p.m. to midnight.
Old Navy: Most stores will open at 3 p.m. on Thanksgiving and stay open through Black Friday.
Walgreens: Most stores will be open regular hours. Pharmacy hours may vary by location.
