Several major American retailers will keep their stores closed on Thanksgiving Day, with big names like Walmart, Best Buy, Costco, Kohl’s, and Walgreens already announcing closures.

Prior to 2020, large stores held in-house Black Friday sales. However, the COVID-19 pandemic changed this tradition, with sales promotions pushed online.
