Shopping On Thanksgiving 2017? Here's Your List Of Open Retailers

If your Thanksgiving tradition includes busting down store doors for the best bargains on holiday gifts fueled by turkey and pie, many national retailers are ready for you.

Debate over whether to shop on Thanksgiving has been fierce in recent years as Black Friday spills over into Thanksgiving evening; some object to employees having to work that night, while some workers love getting paid double or triple time.

The pushback on Thanksgiving shopping has dozens of national stores vowing to keep their doors closed on Thanksgiving. Those taking the day off from the Nov. 23 shopping frenzy include Burlington, Costco, Crate and Barrel, Nordstrom, Publix, Sam’s Club and Dillard's.

National retailers that are expected to open on Thanksgiving include: Belk at 4 p.m., Best Buy at 5 p.m., Kohl's at 5 p.m., Macy's at 5 p.m., Dick's Sporting Goods at 6 p.m., and Walmart at 6 p.m. Tracking sites have posted holiday ads online in the last few days.

Christmas falls 32 days after Thanksgiving this year, one day more than a year ago, and is on a Monday instead of Sunday, giving consumers an extra weekend day to complete their shopping.

Unlike last year, Target stores will not remain open from Thanksgiving Day through Black Friday.
Target stores across the country will be open from 6 p.m. to midnight on Thanksgiving, Nov. 23. Stores will open at 6 a.m. on Black Friday, Nov. 24. Black Friday deals will be available on Target.com the morning of Thanksgiving with free shipping on all orders, the company said.
