Now you may be wondering what Kroger's Thanksgiving hours are, but the answer to that isn't totally straightforward. Kroger stores typically operate on a modified schedule during the holiday season—opening early to accommodate last-minute shoppers—but they also close early to allow employees time with their families.

As is the case with all federal holidays, the U.S. Postal Service will not deliver mail Thursday, Nov. 28 in observance of Thanksgiving. Post offices across the U.S. will be closed for the holiday and mail delivery will be paused and resume Friday.
