This year, Thanksgiving is going to look different. That’s partly because the CDC does not recommend large gatherings due to the novel coronavirus. For example, you probably won’t be heading to a big family dinner this year. Instead, you might be having dinner with your family via Zoom.

Thanksgiving is also going to be different (and at the same time more like it used to be) due to the fact that many stores are going to wait until the day after Thanksgiving to start their sales and open their doors to holiday shoppers. That’s right; many stores are going to do what they used to do and start their Black Friday sales on Black Friday. 

Scroll down for a list of stores that are actually waiting until Black Friday to start their Black Friday sales. Keep in mind that at many of these locations, you will still be able to shop online on Thanksgiving Day, but the brick and mortar locations will be closed.
