Target confirms all 1,963 locations will shut down for entire day during retail blackout – and Walmart won’t be any help

Major businesses like Target will be affected by an impending retail blackout as the holiday season gets underway.

In only a few weeks, the 1,963-location business will shut down for the day, but Walmart won’t be an option.

Although Cyber Monday and Black Friday are behind, the holiday shopping season is still going strong.

Americans will need to be aware of an impending retail blackout as they scramble to tick off every gift on their shopping lists.

Like a lot of other stores, Target will be closed for 24 hours on Christmas Day.

The retail behemoth will be closed on the holiday to give its employees time off, so those wishing to visit the aisles for some last-minute shopping will need to make plans in advance.

Thanksgiving is the only other holiday on which Target closes nationwide.

Customers can shop on the Target app and website around-the-clock for order pickup or delivery after the holiday, even though the store will be closed on Christmas.

On Christmas Eve, when Target shops are open from 7 AM to 8 PM, customers can also stock up on Christmas presents.

Additionally, customers can benefit from the retailer’s extended holiday hours.

From November 30 to December 23, all Target stores will be open from 7 AM to midnight local time.

To expedite the expected millions of transactions throughout the holiday season, the corporation even added additional checkout lines that were supported by team members.

SEASONAL SHUTDOWN

Along with Target, a number of other grocery stores and merchants will also be closing on Christmas Day.

For instance, on December 25, major companies like Burlington, Macy’s, Kohl’s, Home Depot, Walmart, and Big Lots will all close.

Numerous grocery stores, including Costco, Sam’s Club, Trader Joe’s, Winn Dixie, and Publix, will also be closed.

But there are a few stores that will be open on Christmas, so those who want to make last-minute purchases are in luck.

During the holiday, Walgreens, Starbucks, Cumberland Farms, Duane Reade, Wawa, and Casey’s General Store will be open.

Additionally, retailers like CVS, Safeway, Giant, Circle K, QuickChek, 7-Eleven, Bravo Supermarkets, and Safeway are expected to stay open on Christmas.

Please check with your local store to confirm as Christmas hours vary by merchant and area.

Numerous stores are offering enticing discounts as Christmas shopping gets underway.

To offer customers a fresh daily discount, Kroger is starting a 12-day sale.

Additionally, astute consumers may purchase classic Christmas cookies from Dollar Tree for just $1.25; they are 85% less expensive than those found at Walmart.
