After three straight years of being closed, will Target finally allow its doors to stay open this Thanksgiving?
Sorry to tell you, but it looks like Target will be closed again on Turkey Day.
For the fourth year in a row, discount department stores won’t be a place to shop for last-minute ingredients or early Black Friday deals.
In a statement announcing the decision, Target Chairman and CEO Brian Cornell said:
“It’s hard to believe it’s been almost four years since we last opened our stores on Thanksgiving Day. Being closed for the first time on Thanksgiving Day 2020 helped us take care of our team and our guests during the pandemic. But once I heard from team members how much they appreciated that time with their families, it was an easy decision to make the policy permanent, and our store teams have had that time off ever since.”

Target extended its Black Friday promotions to encompass the weeks before and after Thanksgiving in response to the pandemic. In 2021, the company made the change a permanent policy and gave nearly all of its store employees a day off on Thanksgiving Day.
In an official announcement released by Target, anyone scheduled to work on Thanksgiving Day will receive holiday pay.
Last month, Walmart also announced that all of its locations will be closed on Thanksgiving Day.
According WGAUNational mall operator Simon Properties will also close most of its locations on Thanksgiving Day, but plans to reopen on Black Friday.
By show of hands, who’s ready to start their Christmas shopping? Are any of these store closures an inconvenience for you?
