Traditionally, stores remain closed on Thanksgiving Day, kicking off the holiday shopping season on Black Friday — the biggest shopping day of the year — by offering shoppers steep discounts. In an effort to stretch the holiday shopping season as much as possible, many stores have announced plans to open on Thanksgiving Day. However, not all stores are conforming to this trend.
