The decisions to do so effectively ends the longstanding tradition of letting shoppers get a jump-start on the biggest shopping day of the year: Black Friday.

This may come as a hit to retailers -- now faced with a unique holiday season -- who have capitalized on the day in the past. Experts say an even bigger nightmare, however, would be if retailers had to re-close during the last three months of the year, a time when companies depend on gaining significant profit off of holiday shopping.
