Record 80 million set to travel for US Thanksgiving, says AAA
Americans are expected to set a new travel record this Thanksgiving. Nearly 80 million are preparing to hit the roads, catch flights and board cruises over the holiday.
Thanksgiving is almost here, which means your favorite retail store likely has a deal or discount you can take advantage of.
Whether you’re looking for a new outfit to wear for Thanksgiving dinner or to get ahead on your holiday shopping, shoppers will not have many options to choose from on Thanksgiving Day this year, as most national retailers will be closed.
Most of those same retailers, however, will be opening early on Black Friday, one of the biggest shopping days of the year, with deals aplenty.
Here’s what you need to know about retailers and whether or not they will be open on Thursday, Nov. 28 this year. Hours are displayed for the companies that provided them.
