Thanksgiving is fast approaching and despite a desire by shoppers to get a jump on Black Friday and the holiday season, most retailers will be closed on the fourth Thursday of the month. But a handful of stores do plan to be open on Thanksgiving. 

Here's a look at who will be open and who will be closed. This is not a complete list as some retailers have not responded to requests for information. Convenience stores, many grocery stores and some drug store chains are generally open on Thanksgiving.
