If you recall, the company changed their Black Friday Sale in 2020 to a month-long event, with deals start on November 1st, rather than holding out for the one notoriously busy shopping day to release them.
They also announced that, like Walmart, they would be closed for the first time in years on Thanksgiving Day.
