Retailers like Walmart and Target are closing their stores on Thanksgiving Day again this year. The following year, Target followed suit, announcing it would be closed on Thanksgiving for good. Here's a list of retailers that have decided to stay closed on Thanksgiving Day. While a small number of employees still work on Thanksgiving Day to keep things operating smoothly, they all receive holiday pay, according to Target.

Walmart CEO John Furner recently said keeping stores open on Thanksgiving is "a thing of the past." Some companies, Walmart included, closed stores on Thanksgiving in the past few years because of the pandemic, but others may follow suit well into the future. Between online shopping, deals coming earlier in the year, and inflation, many businesses have less reason to be open on Thanksgiving. Walmart CEO John Furner recently told The Today Show that the company won't have stores open on the holiday. The Thanksgiving Day shopping frenzy expanded over the years to become a five-day event stretching from the holiday to Cyber Monday.
We’ll again be closed on Thanksgiving,” Walmart (WMT)US CEO John Furner said in an interview Wednesday on NBC. Target (TGT) last year announced its stores would close on Thanksgiving for good. Holiday shopping used to be highlighted by a few key days — Black Friday being the biggest. But with the growth of online shopping, retailers aren’t as reliant on specific days to drive sales anymore. Costco (COST), Home Depot (HD), Nordstrom (JWN), Publix, Trader Joe’s and others have been closed on Thanksgiving for many years.
It also would create a big player in so-called retail media, one of advertising’s fastest-growing sectors. Kroger and Albertsons entered the retail advertising market in 2015 and 2021, respectively. Kroger and Albertsons don’t break out the ad revenue generated by their Kroger Precision Marketing and Albertsons Media Collective divisions. The merger of Kroger and Albertsons would create a fourth market leader at more than 13% market share, Mr. Lipsman said. For marketers, that would help simplify the retail ad market for consumer-goods brands and other advertisers who currently confront a rapidly increasing number of offerings.
