In recent years, the Black Friday craze has inched further and further into Thanksgiving. With stores opening as early as 5 p.m. on Thursday, festive dinners are being overshadowed by shopping frenzies. Retailers like to point the blame at consumers—according to the National Retail Federation’s annual survey, almost six in 10 Americans plan to shop Thanksgiving weekend—but opening a day early also runs the risk of cannibalizing sales that could have been made on Friday. Furthermore, with stores open the day before, the idea of going shopping in the middle of the night for already picked-over merchandise seems unnecessary.
But there are still stores that allow workers to stay home and enjoy the holiday. We worked with Best Black Friday to find out which companies decided not to open on Thanksgiving.
1. DSW
In a status update on the company’s Facebook page, DSW said: “We’re closed for Thanksgiving so our associates can celebrate with friends and family.”
2. COSTCO
The warehouse club has always had a reputation for being good to their employees. This Thanksgiving, Costco’s nearly 150,000 employees will have the opportunity to spend the holiday with their families.
