  In reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic, many stores abandoned their late-night Thanksgiving hours because of COVID-19, and most of them plan to carry that practice into 2022 and beyond.

  Target, for example, told employees in 2021 that closing stores on Thanksgiving would become "the new standard" after CEO Brian Cornell heard from workers who were happy to stay home for the holiday.

  Retailers also are starting to extend the holiday shopping window, offering deals earlier than ever before. The growth in popularity of online shopping also lets retailers profit before the kickoff to the holiday shopping season even with brick-and-mortar stores closed.

  Yet some companies, like big-name drugstore Rite Aid and supermarket chain Whole Foods Market, will remain open on Thursday, Nov. 24, with regular holiday hours at most locations.
