Major Louisiana Retailers Continue Trend Of Closing On Thanksgiving Day
While the rest of Louisiana prepares for Halloween, I already have my sights set on Thanksgiving.
With the upcoming holiday season approaching, it is important to know what stores will be open so you are not caught in a bind on the day of Thanksgiving.
We have all been there. You thought you had every ingredient to make the perfect Thanksgiving meal just to realize you forgot a crucial component or worse, you burn the turkey.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many stores closed for the holiday, and it appears that the trend will continue, which is great news for all of their employees.
The closures also reflect a shift towards digital sales, with retailers pushing customers to shop online for Black Friday deals. These closures are part of a broader industry move towards accommodating both consumer shopping preferences and the work-life balance of retail employees. We love to see it.
