Why is Walmart Closed on Thanksgiving?
Walmart made the unusual decision this year to not open on Thanksgiving Day, a major departure from the norm for Thanksgiving retail where stores are fully operational on Thanksgiving Day. This shift is in line with an increasingly common retail shift in placing emphasis on employee’s wellness and time spent with family. Although Wal mart likes to give its employees the chance to take a Thanksgiving Day off of their choosing i.e., to have a Thanksgiving Day with family/friends and to choose to have the day free on Thanksgiving Day, Wal mart also desires to make that day off available to serve a greater purpose and benefit the community as a whole.
Check Store Hours: Although most Walmart stores will stay open from 6 AM to 11 PM at Thanksgiving Eve, please remember that it’s adviceable to verify the hours of your local store.
Make a List: Creating a shopping list can organize you and prevent you buying things you do not plan on buying.
Shop Early: In order not to gather in a group of people and to buy what you already have in mind, go shopping first thing in the morning.
Utilize Online Shopping: Buying goods and produce through the internet at Walmart.com can, in fact, be an excellent solution.
By planning ahead and taking advantage of Walmart’s Thanksgiving Eve hours, it’s possible to get shopping done sooner as a holiday shopping time optimization.
