Walmart on Tuesday said it planned to keep all its stores closed on Thanksgiving Day.
The closures, affecting both Walmart and Sam`s Club stores, mark a huge departure from Walmart`s tradition of kicking off Black Friday in-store doorbuster sales on the Thanksgiving holiday, which falls on November 26 this year.
"We know this has been a trying year, and our associates have stepped up. We hope they will enjoy a special Thanksgiving Day at home with their loved ones," John Furner, the president and CEO of Walmart US, said in a statement. "We are certainly thankful to our people for all of their efforts."
