Thanksgiving shopping: Stores that will be open, closed for the holiday

Target will close on Thanksgiving every year

For many years, stores were open on Thanksgiving, allowing consumers to shop or run last-minute errands before the feast hits the table. 

However, an increasing number of retailers have been closing their doors on the holiday in order to give their employees some well-deserved rest, especially for working throughout the pandemic.
