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.
