Most retailers will be closed this Thanksgiving for the third year in a row including Walmart, Target, Best Buy and department stores.
The big picture: Gone are the days when Black Friday in-person shopping started on Thanksgiving before the turkey was served.
- COVID transformed Black Friday from a few short days to more than a month of back-to-back sales in stores and online.
- It also led more grocery stores to close for Thanksgiving or further reduce holiday hours.
- And it's a factor in why some stores have changed their Black Friday ads.
Meanwhile, there's a mix of restaurants open on the holiday — some serving turkey dinners — but hours vary and are limited.
