Target Joins Walmart In Closing Stores This Thanksgiving

Target Corporate Press Release
They join a growing number of popular retailers — which includes Walmart — that will be closed on Thanksgiving Day. We’ve seen in the past few years, stores like Barnes & Noble, Cabela’s, Hobby Lobby, Home Depot, REI, and others close stores on Thanksgiving Day to encourage shoppers and team members to enjoy the Holidays — at home — with family.
Retailers have started focusing their efforts towards online shopping this year as the CoronaVirus Pandemic continues to causes health issues with shoppers being so close to each other in retail locations. Sanitation efforts continue to be a high priority with most retailers, which is encouraging news for those that prefer to shop in-store.
So far, we have not seen any retailers that plan to keep their stores closed on Black Friday this year. Even though many stores will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, we anticipate stores will re-open to Black Friday shoppers on Friday, November 27th, this year.
As we get closer to the Holiday shopping season, be sure to check Frugal Buzz often for the latest changes in Black Friday sales. We will continue to publish Black Friday ads, doorbuster deals, and opportunities to save throughout the Holiday season, with an emphasis on the deals you will be able to find online.
