Thanksgiving 2021 Grocery Store Hours In Wilmington

WILMINGTON, MA — As the number of Americans fully vaccinated against the coronavirus continues to grow, the traditional Thanksgiving gatherings of the pre-pandemic days are likely to return with a full, festive vengeance this year.

In our excitement to once again cook a complete holiday meal for 20, it’s quite possible we’ll forget an item or two on our grocery lists.

Massachusetts is a tough state for shopping on holidays like Thanksgiving. The state's "blue laws" restrict who can work on holidays, and so many grocery stores may choose not to open. So it's best to call ahead before heading to stores that appear on this list.

Many New Hampshire grocery stores will be open, so if you're desperate for that forgotten can of cranberry sauce there's an option.
