Which Retailers Are Actually Open on Thanksgiving? (And Which are Closed)

Black Friday used to really kick off the holiday shopping season. In recent years, though, that high-intensity sales period has spread, with some retailers offering deals from the beginning of November on.

Perhaps more importantly for people seeking big bargains, many chains now kick off their biggest sales on Thanksgiving Day itself. That has taken some of the shine off Black Friday, while also creating a conundrum for shoppers. Should you leave the holiday meal and gathering of family and friends to hit the stores?

If you choose to, you may be rewarded with some good discounts (and at least you'll get some shopping out of the way). Thanksgiving and Black Friday may not be the best days to buy everything on your list, but most stores will be offering some pretty major deals.
