Many stores will shut their doors on Thanksgiving this year, following a trend that began during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In years past, retailers were met with a frenzy of shoppers looking to get the best deals during the holiday season, even if it meant ditching Thanksgiving dinner early to get to the mall.
In 2023, major stores like Kohl's, Target and Walmart will be closed while Americans indulge at the Thanksgiving dinner table.
