Some people take to the couch after a big Thanksgiving dinner, but others prefer some retail therapy. Plenty of stores will be open for business on Thursday night.

Kmart is the earliest riser with stores opening at 6 a.m. local time on Thanksgiving. Other stores will hold off until the afternoon or evening. Similarly, Walmart will be open all day, but Thanksgiving deals don’t start until 6 p.m. Meanwhile, Black Friday favorites like Best Buy and Target won’t open until 5 p.m. and 6 p.m., respectively.

Some stores, of course, do not participate in Thanksgiving sales. Costco, BJ’s Wholesale Club, TJ Maxx and Babies R Us are just a few of the major chains that will keep their doors closed on Nov. 23.

Then there are some stores that just can’t open on holidays. Maine, Massachusetts and Rhode Island shoppers have to wait until Black Friday to do their shopping. Stores in those states are closed on Thursday due to local laws.

The following stores will be open in states where it’s legal. Remember to check with your local store in advance as some locations will not participate in holiday hours.
