Grocery Stores Near Me
To find grocery stores near you, open the map below and filter by "open now" to see which supermarkets you can reach right away.

Find groceries near you now
A quick search usually shows a mix of supermarkets, discount grocers, warehouse clubs, ethnic markets and convenience stores. Here's how to narrow it down fast:
- Decide what kind of trip it is. A full weekly shop calls for a supermarket or discount grocer; a few items can come from a convenience store or drugstore.
- Filter by "open now" and check the closing time so you're not rushing.
- Check for extras you need, such as a pharmacy, bakery, hot food bar or ATM.
- Look at recent reviews and photos for stock problems, crowding or changed hours.
| Store type | Best for | Trade-offs |
|---|---|---|
| Traditional supermarket | Full weekly shop, fresh counters, pharmacy | Prices vary; best deals need loyalty card |
| Discount grocer | Low prices on staples | Smaller selection, fewer brand names |
| Warehouse club | Bulk buys, household goods | Membership fee, large package sizes |
| Natural or specialty market | Organic, specialty and prepared foods | Usually higher prices |
| International market | Specific ingredients, spices, produce | Hours and selection vary |
| Convenience store | A few items, late at night | Highest prices, limited fresh food |
Typical grocery hours
Most supermarkets open early and close in the evening. As a general pattern, full-size stores often open around 6 to 8 a.m. and close somewhere between 9 p.m. and midnight, while discount grocers and specialty markets tend to keep shorter hours. Sunday hours are often a bit shorter. Your local store's listing has the real answer.
Counters keep their own hours
The store may be open, but that doesn't mean every department is. Pharmacy counters, delis, bakeries, seafood counters and customer service desks typically open later and close earlier than the store itself. If you need a prescription, check the pharmacy hours near you separately.
Late night and holidays
True 24-hour supermarkets are less common now. If you're shopping late, see our guide to what's open near you right now for how to confirm hours before you drive.
Holidays change everything. On Thanksgiving 2025, for example, many grocery chains opened in the morning and closed by early or mid-afternoon, while others, like Aldi, Trader Joe's and Publix, closed for the day, according to Hip2Save's holiday roundup. Our list of stores open on Thanksgiving has the details for this year.
Pickup and delivery options
If you can't get to a store, most chains offer some combination of curbside pickup and home delivery, either through their own app or third-party services.
| Option | How it works | Typical costs to check |
|---|---|---|
| Curbside or in-store pickup | Order online, a shopper picks it, you collect it | Often free or a small fee; may need an order minimum |
| Store delivery | The store's own drivers or partner delivers | Delivery fee, possible service fee, tip |
| Third-party delivery apps | An app shopper buys and delivers from local stores | Delivery and service fees, tip, possible item markups |
| Delivery memberships | Annual or monthly plan for unlimited deliveries | Membership cost; only worth it if you order often |
Tips for better orders
- Set substitution preferences so you don't get a random replacement.
- Book slots early before weekends and holidays.
- Compare the final total, including fees and tip, against a quick store trip.
- Check items at handoff for missing or damaged products and report them in the app right away.
How to save on groceries
Small habits add up. These steps work at almost any store:
- Plan meals around the weekly ad. Build your list from what's on sale, not the other way around.
- Join the store's free loyalty program. Many chains reserve their best prices and digital coupons for members.
- Compare unit prices. The shelf tag usually shows price per ounce or per count, which makes bulk vs. small sizes easy to compare.
- Try store brands. They're often made to similar standards at a lower price.
- Buy produce in season and use frozen fruits and vegetables when fresh prices spike.
- Shop with a list and a full stomach. It cuts impulse buys.
- Check discount grocers and warehouse clubs for staples you buy often.
If you need cash while you shop, many grocery stores let you get cash back at checkout with a debit card, which can save you an ATM fee.
SNAP/EBT online
If you receive SNAP benefits, you can use them for online grocery orders at participating retailers. According to the USDA's SNAP Online Purchasing page, online purchasing is available in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Key points to know:
- Only eligible food is covered. SNAP can't pay for delivery, service or convenience fees, so you'll need another payment method for those.
- You still use your PIN. You enter your EBT PIN at online checkout, just like at the register.
- Retailers vary by state. USDA's page lets you pick your state to see which retailers participate.
- Delivery areas vary. Check the retailer's website to see whether it delivers to your ZIP code.
How to start
- Visit USDA's SNAP online page and select your state.
- Choose a participating retailer and create an account.
- Add your EBT card as a payment method.
- At checkout, split payment: EBT for eligible food, another card for fees and non-eligible items.
Quick summary
- Use the map's "open now" filter to find grocery stores near you, then confirm closing time.
- Many supermarkets open early and close in the evening; pharmacy and deli counters keep shorter hours.
- Pickup is usually cheaper than delivery; compare the total with fees and tips.
- Loyalty programs, weekly ads, unit prices and store brands are the easiest ways to save.
- SNAP online works in all 50 states and DC, but benefits don't cover delivery fees.
Frequently asked questions
What time do most grocery stores open?
Many supermarkets open between 6 and 8 a.m. and close between 9 p.m. and midnight, while smaller and specialty stores often keep shorter hours. Pharmacy, deli and bakery counters inside the store usually open later and close earlier. Hours vary by chain and location, so check your local store's listing or website.
Is there a 24-hour grocery store near me?
Possibly, but 24-hour supermarkets are less common than they used to be, since many chains trimmed overnight hours. Search the map for grocery stores and use the open-now filter late at night to see what's actually available. Convenience stores and some gas stations are often the fallback for basics after midnight.
Can I use EBT for grocery delivery?
Yes, at participating retailers. USDA says SNAP online purchasing is available in all 50 states and DC, and you still enter your EBT PIN at checkout. SNAP benefits only cover eligible food, though, so delivery, service and convenience fees must be paid another way, such as a debit or credit card.
Is grocery pickup cheaper than delivery?
Usually. Curbside pickup is often free or has a small fee above a minimum order, while delivery typically adds a delivery fee, possible service fees and a tip. Some apps also charge higher item prices than the store shelf. Compare the final total at checkout, not just the item prices.
What is the cheapest grocery store?
It depends on where you live and what you buy. Discount grocers and warehouse clubs often have lower prices on staples, while traditional supermarkets may win on weekly sales and loyalty deals. Comparing your usual basket at two or three nearby stores is the most reliable way to find the cheapest option.
Information can change. Always confirm hours and details directly with the business.
