Target just announced that it will join Walmart and other big box chains in closing on Thanksgiving Day!
The company released a statement on their corporate site on July 31 confirming their participation in the shut-down during the pre-Black Friday shopping day.
The holiday, which falls on November 26th this year, is typically used as a lead-up sales day, featuring deep discounts that in recent years have rivaled Black Friday’s.
We think every employee should be entitled to spend the holiday with their families, but this is yet-another-way that 2020 is the weirdest year ever.

But don't worry--the company says that it plans to make up for the closure with plenty of pre-Thanksgiving and Black Friday sales that you can shop from the comfort of your home. Sounds good to us!
"When we say you can take advantage of great deals all season long, we really mean it," the statement reads.
"So kick back, relax and enjoy a long nap after you finish that last piece of Thanksgiving turkey. This season, you can count on getting extra-big savings without the extra-long lines, with plenty of opportunities to score the best deals on the hottest items both before and after November 26."

Best Buy and Dick's have also announced that they will be closed for Thanksgiving.
All brands point that if you want to hear about their pre-Black Friday sales, you should sign up for their email and/or free loyalty programs, such as Target Circle. In the absence of being able to shop the aisles, this may be the best way to discover Black Friday deals in 2020!
