Carvel is one of the best places to get sweet ice cream. However, during Thanksgiving, you may have to look for another outlet to satisfy your cravings, as Carvel has decided to remain closed that day.

Why Is Carvel Closed During Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving is about showing gratitude, which is why Carvel has decided to remain closed to let its employees spend the occasion with their loved ones. This is one of the most generous gestures any outlet can make.
Even though people may miss the sweet treats from the outlet, it’s satisfying to know that many employees will enjoy quality time with friends and families.
