Not only do Thanksgiving traditions vary across families (both biological and chosen), communities, and regions, they also have a tendency to evolve over time. This goes for the menu (e.g. the inclusion of Brussels sprouts since they became trendy in the early 21st century), as well as shopping habits.

For some, digesting their dinner while waiting in line for discounted electronic devices became a yearly occurrence sometime in the 1990s or early 2000s. But that tradition has been fizzling out over recent years, as retailers respond to criticism that they’re ruining what’s supposed to be a “family holiday” for both shoppers and their employees, by closing on Thanksgiving Day.

For your reference, here are some of the national retailers that will remain open on Thanksgiving Day, as well as a few that will be closed.
