Walmart announced back in June 2021 that all U.S. store locations will close for Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 25, as a ‘thank you’ to associates for their continued hard work during the pandemic.

This will be the second year that Walmart has closed stores on Thanksgiving to give time back to associates.
Walmart says throughout the pandemic, it has continued to place a heavy emphasis on the well-being of its associates. The company even expanded its access to no-cost counseling and extended its COVID-19 emergency leave policy through last month, Sept. 30.

Closing its stores on Thanksgiving is an additional way the retailer is thanking associates for their dedication to serving customers and their perseverance throughout the pandemic.

Stores will operate regular hours on Wednesday, November 24.

Information about store hours for Friday, November 26 will be announced at a later date.
