Two Dozen Retailers Won’t Open on Thanksgiving — And They’re Shaming Those That Will

A slew of national retailers are making a point of the fact that they're not going along with the trend to open — and open earlier and earlier — on Thanksgiving Day. In one of the most noticeable trends thus far in the holiday shopping season, several mall mainstays are engaged in an aggressive game of Thanksgiving store hour one-upmanship. The skirmishes began with Macy's announcement it would open for "Black Friday" sales starting at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving night, two hours earlier than last year.
