Is Thanksgiving closed on Thanksgiving?

Cornell the temporary decision to close Target doors on Thanksgiving will become a permanent.

• “You don’t have to wonder whether this is the last Thanksgiving you’ll spend with family and friends for a while, because Thanksgiving store hours are one thing we won’t ‘get back to’ when the pandemic finally subsides,” he added.
