Some businesses always stay closed on Thanksgiving while others ramp up their sales for the holiday and Black Friday. This year, lots of major retailers have decided to close doors on Thanksgiving to give their employees a break. For these stores, Black Friday will begin on Friday, not on Thanksgiving. Other stores are getting rid of Black Friday altogether due to the pandemic.
Here is a list of the top stores that will be closed. Enjoy your meal and wait until early Friday or another day to head out to get some of the deals. Likely, Black Friday will also look very different this year. Stores will generally get very crowded but they will have to maintain social distancing now.
The home goods store will be closed on Thanksgiving due to the safety concerns of coronavirus. They have not yet announced hours for Black Friday. Will some stores get rid of Black Friday in-store altogether and just announce sales online? Only time will tell!
