'Thanksgiving shopping, no more.' Walmart, Target, Kohl's, and other stores are closing their doors on the holiday. CNN's nmeyersohn reports that 'retailers are less reliant on big sales days' to drive profits.

“It’s a thing of the past. We’ll again be closed on Thanksgiving,” Walmart \n \n US CEO John Furner said in an interview Wednesday on NBC. Target\n \n last year announced its stores would close on Thanksgiving for good. “What started as a temporary measure driven by the pandemic is now our new standard,” Target CEO Brian Cornell said last year. “Thanksgiving store hours are one thing we won’t ‘get back to’ when the pandemic finally subsides.

So in recent years they have launched promotions and sales events earlier and spread them out across the season — helping avoid a crush of demand, which can strain store staffs and delivery networks. The big chains are once again starting discounts early this year. Staying open on Thanksgiving had also been a source of tension between retailers and labor advocates, especially as many retailers opened their doors on the holiday to get a jump on Black Friday.

That’s great. What most folks don’t realize is the e-commerce distribution workers will be working on Thanksgiving day for these companies….

Great. I quietly hate it when family members leave Thanksgiving to go shopping.

Good, having them opened killed the meaning of Thanksgiving, all employees should have this time off

Good! The self checkers need a holiday too. Too bad Walmart won't pay us atleast minimum wage to be their cashiers! Corporate effing greed!

Had ours three weeks ago. 🤷‍♂️

Will MAGA Caps still be available at Dollar General this Late Oct 22 week for .29 cents 'along with photos of Trump trying to Flush US Fed Classified docs down the toilet

Great, but I just saw a holiday ad on TV! It’s only Oct. 23!!!

nmeyersohn Good these people deserve to be off too

nmeyersohn Employees finally have the advantage and won't put up with it. That's why they're doing it. I have no doubt if they could make even 1 extra dollar and get away with it, they wouldn't care less about making people work on holidays.

nmeyersohn LOL you have done this for the last 3 years
