- Walmart confirmed all U.S. stores will be closed on Thursday, November 27, continuing a practice it adopted in 2020 to give employees the holiday with family.
- Walmart will reopen early Friday for Black Friday; the retailer also scheduled online deal events for November 14–16 and November 25–27 with Walmart+ early access.
- Home Depot will shut its roughly 2,000 U.S. stores on Thanksgiving and will also close on Christmas Day, returning to normal operations for Black Friday.
- Target announced a Thanksgiving basket designed to feed four for under $20 before tax, while Walmart revived a $40 bundle intended to serve about 10 people.
- Other large chains are reported or expected to close on Thanksgiving, though some grocers and pharmacies plan limited hours, and federal law does not require private businesses to close on holidays.
