Target says it won’t return to opening on Thanksgiving going forward
Target Corp. will not only be closed on Thanksgiving this year but will continue to be closed on the holiday in the future, CEO Brian Cornell told employees in a memo Monday. Cornell said although the retailer closed on the holiday last year as a temporary measure driven by the pandemic and social distancing mandates that were contrary to massive bargain-hunting crowds, “Thanksgiving store hours are one thing we won’t ‘get back to’ when the pandemic finally subsides.” “You don’t have to wonder whether this is the last Thanksgiving you’ll spend with family and friends,” he said in the memo, a copy of which was given to MarketWatch.
