Thursday November 22, 2018 is Thanksgiving. It is slowly becoming a bigger holiday shopping day than Black Friday.
From CNBC:
The creep from Black Friday to Thursday began in 2010, when Sears opened on Thanksgiving. Wal-Mart made a similar move in 2011 and Target in 2012.
America’s largest shopping mall, the Mall of America, bucked the trend and closed on Thanksgiving in 2016, after first deciding to open early for shoppers at midnight on Thanksgiving in 2012. In the years that followed, the mall opened at 8 p.m. on the holiday in 2014, and 6 p.m. in 2015.
Phillip Dengler, creator of BestBlackFriday.com, has for the past few years been compiling a list of retailers that will remain closed on Thanksgiving.
