For some, shopping at Target has become an obsession. A store that offers everything from groceries to designer handbags. Some shoppers find themselves making daily trips to Target. Some make multiple daily trips to the giant retailer. Some shoppers even leave their husbands alone in the parking lot to make friends.

Shoppers obsessed with making daily trips to Target are going to be surprised to find that Target will be closing its doors for not 1, but 2 days before the end of 2024.

After years of retail giants offering up doorbusters for days like Black Friday, employees were forced to spend much of their holiday time away from their families. Not to mention the last-minute shoppers for Christmas.

Target has decided again this year that they will close their doors for both Christmas Day and Thanksgiving.

So make sure you check your holiday shopping list twice, just like Santa. Because you may not have the opportunity to run to Target for a last-minute gift or more cranberry sauce for the Thanksgiving turkey.

Target stores will re-open on Black Friday at regular business hours, so no need to wake up at 5a after you have your "turkey day food coma."

Walmart has also announced that they will be closing their doors for the holidays too.

In a recent press release from Walmart

Walmart prepares all year long to make the holiday shopping season remarkable for its customers, and the retailer is ready to serve them with its next-gen supply chain and world-class team of associates. The retailer’s recent investments to create a more connected supply chain means customers can have confidence that Walmart will have the things they want, need and love, at the speed at which they want it, all season long.

Walmart stores will be closed once again on Thanksgiving Day so associates can spend the day with their families.

Bottomline, the holidays are for family time. Not work or shopping. Kudos to these retailers realizing they need to support their employees on these important holidays.
