Most major retailers will remain closed on Thanksgiving Day this year, continuing a trend that began during the pandemic. Stores such as Ace Hardware, Aldi, Best Buy, and Costco will not open on Thursday (November 27). However, these retailers will welcome Black Friday shoppers with early morning openings.
Ace Hardware locations, which are independently owned, may have varying hours, so checking online is advised. Aldi and Costco will remain closed for Thanksgiving, with Black Friday hours available online. Best Buy will also be closed on Thanksgiving, but customers can find its Black Friday hours on the retailer's website.
Dick's Sporting Goods will open at 6 a.m. on Black Friday, while JCPenney and Kohl's will open even earlier at 5 a.m. Other stores like Hobby Lobby and Home Goods will reopen at 8 a.m.
Despite the closures on Thanksgiving, Black Friday is expected to be busy. The National Retail Federation predicts that 197 million people will shop online, in person, or both over the Thanksgiving weekend.
