Amid the store closures across the city on Christmas Day, some establishments are open for those looking for holiday convenience or forgotten necessities. According to WGN-TV, various pharmacies like CVS and Walgreens and convenience stores including Casey’s and 7-Eleven are open, granting last-minute shoppers the chance to pick up what they may need, albeit with modified hours.
A curtailed roster of grocery stores such as Acme Markets and Albertsons are also unlocking their doors. Certain Giant Food locations sprinkle an added sprinkle of hope by opening between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., with a handful of pharmacies available, as detailed by a report from CBS News.
Respite from kitchen duties can be found for those yearning for a quick meal or festive treat at eateries and fast-food chains like IHOP and Sheetz. McDonald's has not dimmed its golden arches for the holiday, and a variety of Starbucks and Dunkin' locations pour warmth into the winter chill, though it's wise to consult local hours before heading out.
