## Story

Several well-known chain restaurants will remain open on Thanksgiving Day this year, according to a Time magazine report .

Applebee’s, Bob Evans and Burger King are three chains that will be open for Thanksgiving.

Diners interested in something fancier can take refuge in The Capital Grille or Ruth’s Chris Steak House or Smith & Wollensky.

And for those who just want coffee, Starbucks is another chain that will be open.

The article noted that individual chain locations might have reduced hours on Thanksgiving, so customers should verify those hours before heading over.
