PENNSYLVANIA (WSPA) — Trying to get a jump on your holiday shopping on Thanksgiving? Unfortunately many stores are closing once again this year for the holiday.
According to RetailMeNot, for the better part of a decade, major retail stores have opened their doors on Thanksgiving Day.
However, that all changed with the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, many major retail stores announced they would be closed on Thanksgiving and open at some point on Black Friday.
In 2021 and 2022, major retail stores again stayed closed on the Thanksgiving holiday and opened early on Black Friday.
Now, in 2023, many major retail stores are sticking with the trend and staying closed on the holiday.
