Many big box stores such as Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Kohls announced in 2020 during the pandemic they wouldn't open on Thanksgiving to limit crowds.
- With the Thanksgiving meals behind us, the attention for many people turns to the busy holiday shopping season—which officially kicks off with Black Friday.
"The times have changed a little bit and I think people are wanting to stay more at home and not as focused on going into stores and doing online shopping," said Virginia Hill who was visiting from California. "Got a chance to enjoy thanksgiving, spend time with friends, family instead of working, it's pretty nice," said Christian Taylor, who used to work on Thanksgiving.
"All of these are creating opportunities for retailers to make sure that they have their sales covered and not have to worry about having to wait for Black Fridays or Cyber Mondays to start their sales," added Shankar. Some people telling CBS 11 News, Thanksgiving should be about spending time with those you love and not at the stores.
