Thanksgiving Store Hours: Retailers Closed In Rhode Island

Thanksgiving is generally reserved for family time, watching football and eating too much turkey. But more and more people are looking to get a jump on Black Friday every year by hitting the stores a day early.

That still isn't the case in Rhode Island, however. Most retailers in Rhode Island are banned from opening on the holiday. It's one of a few states, along with Massachusetts and Maine, that don't allow for certain businesses to open on Thanksgiving.

That's a stark contrast from other states, in which some stores like Walmart will be open 24 hours to shuffle in and out holiday shoppers.

A previous version of this story erroneously listed several retailers as being open Thanksgiving.
