Here Are Stores That Will Be Closed On Thanksgiving Day
CBS Local — As more and more shoppers seem determined to one-up each other, "Brown Thursday" has quickly become popular with people trying to get the best deals and avoid Black Friday madness.
Many prospective turkey day shoppers will be disappointed to find that a growing number of major retailers are closing their stores for the holiday this year. According to a report from Best Black Friday, a blog dedicated solely to Black Friday shopping, as many as 75 popular retail stores will be shuttered for the Nov. 23 holiday and some may even be closed on Black Friday.
The willingness across the country to close on Thanksgiving may be linked to the growing trend of online shopping. Online spending on Thanksgiving Day in 2016 was reportedly up by over 11 percent.
