As most of us have seen… many businesses have chosen to remain open for the Thanksgiving Day holiday so that shoppers can start Black Friday shopping early, but many major retailers have said they will be closed so that their employees can spend time with their families and friends during the holiday. Black Friday hours have continued to edge earlier and earlier and even into Thanksgiving Day, or earlier. Some people dislike this move, some support it and get deep into the quest to buy with great fervor!
Here are some of the major retailers who have decided to close today:
