Brad Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Target will be closed on Thanksgiving Day https://corporate.target.com/article/2021/01/holiday-2020 “We also closed our stores on Thanksgiving Day in order to minimize crowds and help our guests take the stress out of getting the best deals of the season. The response was so positive that we’ll carry it forward this year, keeping our Target stores closed all day long on Thanksgiving Day.” Edit: Dick's Sporting Goods has made a similar announcement. 5
freesia39 Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Ooooh that's a super early announcement. Let's see if they stick to it as we get closer to the end of the year. 2
Bopeep Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 This could go either way, so I hope it's good news for us traditionalists. I absolutely hated the spread out sales, but I loved being able to sit around after Thanksgiving dinner (as small as that was this year). I would imagine the other big players will follow suit, and they will all be closed Thanksgiving again. I just hope the bulk of the sales is the weekend after and not the month before. 3
smurfgirl Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 I just came to post this! I guess I’m a little behind.
berry1014 Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 Good, I hope other do the same. I enjoyed staying home after dinner this past Thanksgiving. It was a little different having the BF sales broken up over course of weeks instead but I was still able to get what I wanted. 1
momlori Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 I did like the extra sales. Or at least spreading them out 1
jesusluvu Posted January 15, 2021 Posted January 15, 2021 YES!!!!! Now this is something to sing about. They will most likely still have the online sales on Thanksgiving but closing the store is a huge plus to everyone especially the employees. 1

tracy0504 Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 As a part time worker (my 2nd gig) at Target I can say I am happy about this news... I like being home with my family on Thanksgiving, not having to hurry up and cook, eat and then rush to work... And I can tell you the way they did it in 2020 there was still a good amount of foot traffic in the evenings during the BF sales weeks, it was just spread out over the weeks... The way it was set up was perfect as far as what was on sale each week, so if there was nothing you wanted during week one, you didn't have to fight crowds or stand in line to get that one item you want... the guest decided whether they wanted to come out and shop based on what was on sale each week...I'm not in my 20s/30s anymore and I can't hang like I use to [emoji23][emoji23] I personally like it this way... 3

jewleyp Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) Glad to see this coming back as hopefully a “new” old tradition !! Edited June 4, 2021 by jewleyp 2
Brad Posted June 4, 2021 Author Posted June 4, 2021 I just hope the actual BF sales are full sales this year and not the final 30% of items from previous November “BF” sales. 2
jesusluvu Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 This is wonderful!!!! Now to see if there going to do that weekly drop like last year. That was a headache but made you stay constantly on there cite.

mcwalker Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) Glad to see this. Actually better than before, as it looks like they will close the 24-hour stores, too. Edited June 10, 2021 by mcwalker
mcwalker Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Good. I hope this stays. Stores don't need to be open Thanksgiving, and don't lose sales if all of them are closed that day.
len_mullen Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Good. I hope this stays. Stores don't need to be open Thanksgiving, and don't lose sales if all of them are closed that day. I'm ambivalent. As long as employees are not punished for taking the holiday, I don't have a problem with those that choose to work. When I was a kid, I made a LOT of money working holidays and Sundays. I would imagine a lot of workers will be hurt by the loss of income. I don't go out much on BF these days. We used to stop at Walmart on the way home from Thanksgiving with the in-laws. I got a couple of phone deals that way.
Kanyon71 Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 Problem is that many of them are in not good favor if they do t work that day. That’s from friends who work retail telling.
Brad Posted June 17, 2021 Author Posted June 17, 2021 Kohl's will be closed on Thanksgiving Day https://corporate.kohls.com/content/kohlscorp/en/news/archive-/2021/june/kohl-s-to-close-stores-on-thanksgiving-day-2021.html That’s pretty much all of the bigger stores. 2
