As in, does pretty much every business close for thanksgiving or are there some stores open? What about tradespersons, 7/11's, etc.?

most places are closed. The exceptions, where I live anyways, are gas stations, a (very few) store here and there, and meijers. Grocery stores are normally open (and busy) for those last minute shoppers in the morning, but close in the afternoon.
Hope this helps you!

wal-mart and k-mart are open and some grocery stores until like 4 p.m. --- only in the last 15 years or so. it's not a 'tradition" but 7-11 type stores/gas stations are open because the owners are usually not "American" and do not celebrate our holiday. works for me. i happen to get Thanksgiving day off and the next day as holiday. again....works for me.

Where I live (Alaska) the convenience stores and gas stations were open. Wal-Mart was open and the grocery stores were open until 6 p.m. I am off for Thanksgiving but will work tomorrow.

Your waaaaay late thanksgiving is pretty much over everywhere except for the trailing states like Alaska and Hawaii. and as far as i know the majority are closed but of course I'm sure some places will be open stores, emergency services, and especially entertainment facilities like amusement parks and movie theatres.

pretty much every gas station is open.
All Government agencys are closed.
The rest of us pretty much let UPS and FEDEX dictate what days we take off. For my company it is UPS and they don't work Thanksgiving or the day after, that brings most businesses to a halt as we all rely on them.

~most retail places and government offices are closed. hospitals, police, firemen...places like that...never get a break.
you have your occasional 7-11, and gas stations that stay open. but for the most part, every one else is taking a day off. next one will be xmas!

Some stores are still open. Depends on the owner of the store, gas stations, Wal-marts, etc
I had to work, law enforcement.... but we never 'close' :-)
