While some stores will kick off Black Friday on Thanksgiving Day, Target has vowed to keep stores closed on the holiday.
Target also stayed closed on Thanksgiving last yearto limit crowds during the pandemic. Target also joined other retailers in giving its employees a day off around the holiday for their hard work as essential workers during the pandemic.
Now, the holiday closure will be permanent, the Associated Press reports. "What started as a temporary measure driven by the pandemic is now our new standard — one that recognizes our ability to deliver on our guests' holiday wishes both within and well beyond store hours," Target CEO Brian Cornell wrote in a note to employees, obtained by the AP.
