Before heading out, it’s wise to confirm hours with your local branch, as holiday schedules often vary by location.
Starbucks stores will generally remain open on Thanksgiving Day 2024, though operating hours may vary by location. Most locations typically open around 5 a.m. and close between 8 and 10 p.m., but some may have reduced hours based on local demand. For example, stores in specific regions like Seattle and Memphis have reported hours as early as 7 a.m. to as late as 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving.
To ensure your local Starbucks is open and to confirm its hours, it’s a good idea to check the Starbucks app, use the store locator on their website, or call ahead. This allows you to enjoy their seasonal drinks, such as the Pumpkin Spice Latte or Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato, while taking a break from holiday festivities.
