As families nationwide gear up for Thanksgiving, one question looms large for those who prefer to do their shopping in bulk: Can warehouse clubs be relied upon for last-minute ingredients or discounted electronics?
For Sam’s Club members, the answer lies in a commitment to valuing family time. If you plan to shop at Sam’s Club this year, be sure to complete your pre-holiday errands ahead of time.
Unfortunately, Sam’s Club will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov. 27, 2025. This aligns with the store’s policy of giving employees the holiday off, similar to other major retailers like Walmart, Target, and Costco. Sales events are moved to Black Friday and online platforms.
For those looking to shop for Thanksgiving-related items, the crucial day is Wednesday, Nov. 26. Members must complete their in-club shopping by then, with locations generally following standard operating hours. Plus members will have early access beginning at 8 a.m. or 9 a.m. depending on the location.
To make Thanksgiving planning easier, Sam’s Club offers a Member’s Mark Thanksgiving Feast for under $100, feeding ten people and ready in under two hours. This includes a fully pre-cooked meal with a smoked turkey, mashed potatoes, and more, available for Curbside Pickup or Express Delivery for Plus members.
Following the Thanksgiving closure, Sam’s Club will kick off Black Friday sales bright and early on Friday, November 28, 2025. Hours vary by location, with Plus members enjoying early shopping access. For those who prefer to skip the crowds, all Black Friday deals will be available online.
In the midst of holiday preparations, shoppers can still enjoy the convenience of Sam’s Club while prioritizing family time.
