Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit over four years ago, it, unfortunately, feels like businesses have been closing their doors for good left and right. While numerous establishments all across the state of Colorado have closed up shop in the past handful of years, it seems that the big, corporate stores have been pretty safe, only adjusting hours of operation in many cases.

Well, one of the biggest retailers, if not the biggest, in Colorado will be closing its doors this coming Thanksgiving, carrying on a practice adopted during the pandemic.

Walmart has announced that for the fourth year in a row, it will be shuttering on Thanksgiving Day in order to give its employees an opportunity to spend the holiday with loved ones, away from the blue and gray shopping carts and checkout lines.

In addition, Target has announced that it will also be closing its doors for the entire duration of Thanksgiving Day for the same reason.

So, make sure you stock up on turkey and stuffing at least one day prior to Thanksgiving Day if you're planning on doing your shopping at either of these major retailers this year.
