Is Starbucks open on Thanksgiving in 2024?
Here's some news you'll love a latte: Yes—Starbucks will be open on Thanksgiving Day! Well, most of them should be. The popular coffee chain will keep its doors open so customers can get their holiday caffeine fix on Thursday, November 28. However, the hours of operation vary depending on the store.
While most Starbucks locations have been business per usual on past Thanksgivings, some Starbucks locations will close early, while others may open late. According to a statement made by the company, "Stores may occasionally adjust their hours based on business and customer needs." So, to prevent showing up to a locked door in 2024, you'll want to call your local branch ahead of time for their hours.
Or, if you need to find out in a pinch and can't make a call, just go online. "We recommend customers use the Starbucks Store locator and the Starbucks App to determine hours at their local stores," a representative tells ThePioneerWoman.com. So whether you've got to rise with the sun to get that turkey in the oven or are prepping for hours of Black Friday shopping after the feast, you can sip a Starbs to make it all happen.
