Target has announced it will close their doors for Thanksgiving Day this year, and every year going forward.
The retail giant closed on the holiday last year due to pandemic safety concerns, but has evidently become the company's new standard operating procedure.
"What started as a temporary measure driven by the pandemic is now our new standard," said the massive retailer's CEO Brian Cornell.
Most Target locations will reopen at 7 a.m. local time on Black Friday. The chain has also begun offering holiday shopping discounts starting earlier in October.
Other major retailers including Walmart, Trader Joe's, and Aldi will also be closed for Thanksgiving.
Making virtue out of a necessity, I think, but a good move none the less.
Good. Employees need to be home with their families. Black Friday loses its luster if the stores are open Thanksgiving Day.
I still won’t patronize the filthy Leftist chain.
“I still won’t patronize the filthy Leftist chain.”
Agree!
Until Walmart starts getting greedy again and they all open on Thanksgiving 2025.
Me either. Target is no big shakes and I stopped shopping there when the trans bathroom thing came down. That said, I agree that there should be a few days a year when we focus on other than retail. It was a pity about 20 years ago when the open on Thanksgiving trend began, but now the tide seems to be going out on the practice
Haven’t set foot in a Target since their gender-deranged BS started.
My kids had to work on Thanksgiving in their teens. Close all the damn stores.
Target is going to follow JC Pennys and Sears into oblivion.
Same here. I used to like Target because they had good prices and the store was clean.
They really dirtied things up
This is something I support. Stores can take a day off for people to be with their families.
Yes. I think retail should be closed on all these major holidays. But, I am old school on these things...
Won’t stop the holiday looters.
Might even be an enticement.
Every decent sized corporation is a woke dump.
Some just hide it better.
Tuck Farget.
Great! One day that Homos and Pedophiles won't be able to molest children in Target sex unspecific restrooms.
364 to go.
Good their employees can spend the day with their families.
I agree, unless I forget to buy something...
the yoga-latte mommies will have to go spend money someplace else that day. Boo hoo.
