Walmart said on Tuesday that it plans to close stores on Thanksgiving. The move ends the retailer’s tradition of starting its in-store Black Friday sales on Thanksgiving Day. The closure will also extend to the Walmart-owned warehouse retailer Sam’s Club. 

“We know this has been a trying year, and our associates have stepped up,” said John Furner, the president and CEO of Walmart US, in a release. “We hope they will enjoy a special Thanksgiving Day at home with their loved ones.”
