Thanksgiving dinner might look different this year amid the coronavirus pandemic, but one thing shoppers don't need to throw in their carts is crowds at the supermarket.

Ahead of the holiday, Google Maps released a handy guide outlining the best (and worst) times to visit grocery stores, coffee shops and restaurants in the U.S., to avoid the bustle of peak hours and promote social distancing.

Google said that grocery stores in America are the least busy on Monday at 8 a.m., and the most congested on Saturday from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m.

According to figures released in a Tuesday blog post, grocery stores in America are the least busy on Monday at 8 a.m., and the most congested on Saturday from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. Caffeine addicts probably won't be surprised to learn that Google pegged Saturday at 10 a.m. as the busiest time to hit the coffee shop, while cafes are emptiest on Tuesday at 4 p.m.

Restaurant customers hopeful to have the place to themselves should make a reservation for Tuesday at 3 p.m., and trust that Friday at 6 p.m. will be the busiest time for the business all week, Google said.
