The trend of US retailers and wholesalers putting their employees first and closing their businesses for the holiday began in 2020, since Walmart made the decision to close stores at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Target has followed suit in an attempt to cut down on crowds and make shopping less stressful for its customers. The company continued to close stores the following year and made the decision to permanently close on Thanksgiving.
This year, for the first time in company history, Walgreens announced that all of its stores and pharmacies will be closed on Thanksgiving “so team members can spend time with their loved ones,” a spokesperson told PEOPLE. However, Walgreen’s 24-hour locations will remain open “to meet the healthcare needs of customers and patients.”
