Walmart has been fully closed on Thanksgiving Day in recent years, so it is not open late at all that day.

Quick Scoop

  • Walmart U.S. stores now close entirely on Thanksgiving Day, with no in‑store shopping hours.
  • Typical holiday pattern:
    • Open normal hours the day before Thanksgiving (often 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. at many locations).
* Closed all day on Thanksgiving.
* Reopen early on Black Friday, commonly around 6 a.m. local time.

Why there’s no ā€œlateā€ closing time

Since stores are shut the whole day, there is no specific ā€œhow late is Walmart open on Thanksgivingā€ answer anymore; doors simply stay locked until Black Friday morning. This policy was put in place to let employees spend the holiday with family and has continued through recent Thanksgiving seasons.

What you can still do

  • Shop on Walmart.com and in the app, which operate 24/7 even while physical stores are closed.
  • Plan in‑store trips either:
    1. The day before Thanksgiving during regular hours.
2. Early on Black Friday when doors reopen.

Always double‑check your local store’s hours in the Walmart app or store finder close to the holiday, since opening times on Black Friday morning can vary by location.
