Black Friday shopping seems to begin earlier and earlier each year. So early, in fact, that it begins on Thanksgiving Day for some stores. There are stores that will be open on Thanksgiving Day, offering great discounts and sales. However, some stores have already announced that they will not be open on Thanksgiving this year.

I applaud these stores for giving their employees the day off to spend with friends and family, like Thanksgiving is intended. According to BestBlackFriday.com, " over 75 well-known retailers are expected to be closed. Additionally, some stores will even be closed on Black Friday."

That's a lot of stores nation wide. We have quite almost half of the stores that will be closed on Thanksgiving right here in the Tri-State. Below, you will find the full list of stores that won't be open on Thanksgiving Day. Consider this your "heads up" this year before you make a trip to a store that might not even be open.
