Walmart has announced that it will be closed on Thanksgiving Day for the fourth year in a row. The decision to close its stores on Thanksgiving was made in 2020 as a way to express gratitude to its staff and give workers a break. This departure from tradition was prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Walmart’s U.S. president and CEO, John Furner, stated that Thanksgiving is a special day and that the company wants its store associates to have the chance to spend it with their families and loved ones.
