Thanksgiving 2017 is finally here, and those looking to find out hours for restaurants, stores, and banks will find a very mixed bag.

The holiday dedicated to food and family means many are closing their doors early — or never opening at all. Those looking to make a last-minute stop to the grocery store or make a deposit at the bank will have a bit of difficulty, with many stores on limited hours and others closed down entirely. And families who want to forgo cooking altogether and head out to a restaurant will have a few options to choose from, but others restaurants will be shutting their doors all day.

So, what stores, restaurants, and banks will be open on Thanksgiving? You can find a full list below.

Banks open on Thanksgiving

Banking on Thanksgiving 2017 will be a bit tougher, with most major branches closed for the day. As TIME noted, the overwhelming majority are closed on Thanksgiving, though a handful of locations inside grocery stores have traditionally offered some limited hours on Thanksgiving. But all major branches will be back open on Friday, November 24.
