These Stores Will Be Closed on Thanksgiving Day 2021
It's not even officially summer yet and Walmart and Target stores have already announced that they'll be closing their doors on Thanksgiving Day this year…again. The response from the 2020 holiday season was so positive and in an effort to minimize crowds during the pandemic, the mega retailers have decided to do it again. But Walmart is doing it this year as a way to say “thank you” to their employees.
And rumor has it that Best Buy will be closed on Thanksgiving Day as well. They have not released any official statements from what I can tell, but several online sources say it has been confirmed.
Here's what Walmart had to say in their press release –
“Throughout the pandemic, our associates have been nothing short of heroic in how they have stepped up to serve our customers and their communities. Sam Walton said, ‘Our people make the difference,’ and that’s never been more true than it is right now. Closing our stores on Thanksgiving Day is one way we’re saying ‘thank you’ to our teams for their dedication and hard work this year. We hope everyone will take the opportunity to be with their loved ones during what’s always a special time.”
And here's what Target had to say back in January of this year –
“Cyber Week 2020 was Target's biggest yet with record-high digital orders, site traffic, and orders fulfilled via our Drive Up service. We {also} welcomed 3.3 million new guests to our Target Circle loyalty program in order to earn extra rewards.”
Are you surprised by these early announcements??
In years past, many stores have opened up on Thanksgiving night to kick off their in-store Black Friday sales. However, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year will likely be a repeat of 2020 and stores will remained closed on Thanksgiving Day, November 25th, 2021.
