No Need to Panic: Lots of Thanksgiving Shopping Possible
Our survival guide to getting what you need on Thanksgiving.
While Hillsborough's three grocery stores will be open until 5 p.m. for those last minute yams and extra pies, if you've been wondering what else you can buy tomorrow, we've compiled a list of store hours for Thanksgiving.
A friend is joining us for dinner unexpectedly—can I get some more wine for dinner?
All local liquor stores are open and have plenty of fine wine (or, since your friend couldn't bother to RSVP sooner, gallon jugs of wine) on hand. Their hours will be:
- Bottle King: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
- Country Corner Deli and Liquors: 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
- NEC Liquors: 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
- Petrock's Liquor Store: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
- Spirit World: 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
I think I ate too much and need some Alk-Seltzer...where can I get some?
CVS and Walgreen's Pharmacies will both be open regular hours today, though the pharmacists get to close shop early.
I can't wait to get to my Christmas list—where can I shop after Thanksgiving dinner?
Drop your knapkins and put the pie away: at 8 p.m., you can head over to Kohl's to start knocking off those must-get gifts. Hang around until midnight for the Black Friday sales (and be sure to post a photo of the shopping to Instagram, tagged #HillsboroBlackFriday).
You can also shop at Michael's, Old Navy and Target, all in the Bridgewater Promenade. Michael's opens at 4 p.m., Target at 8 p.m. and Old Navy at 9 p.m.
Several Bridgewater Commons stores are also opening at 8 p.m. Thursday, including Macy's, Aeropostale, Forever 21 and Justice—but be sure to check the website since more stores are joining the list.
What's on TV besides football?
Put the bird in the oven early, then kick back and enjoy AMC's day-long Godfather marathon starting at 11:30 a.m., with showings of "The Godfather" and "The Godfather Part II" (too many critics think "Godfather III" was a bit of a turkey itself). It's all about family drama, perfect for Thanksgiving, right? You can baste during the commercials....
Or you can watch the Packers at Lions, the Raiders take on the Cowboys, and Steelers against the Ravens.
