New York State Open On Thanksgiving And Christmas
There are several stores that are open with modified hours on the holiday. Grocery stores like Wegmans and Tops Markets will be open on the holiday for any last-minute needs. Other stores like Starbucks, McDonald’s. Wendy’s and many gas stations will be open for people traveling.
I used to work in retail, and I always loved the idea of having the holidays off. It gives everyone a chance to relax before a very hectic day after, especially on Black Friday.
