Thanksgiving Day has traditionally become the kickoff for Black Friday shopping for many retailers, but over the last year many have decided to buck the trend and close their stores for the holiday.
This year some retailers are already announcing that they will be closed for Thanksgiving Day, giving ample time for shoppers to shift their holiday plans as they push consumers online for sales.
Walmart, Target and Best Buy have all announced that they will be closing their doors on Thanksgiving Day 2021 and starting their Black Friday sales in-stores the following day, USA Today reported. Online sales will commence while stores are closed, giving shoppers plenty of reason to stay home and stock up on holiday gifts the retailers promise.
