While Thursday marks Thanksgiving and will be celebrated as friends and family come together to share a meal, some businesses will close their doors for the day to allow their employees a day of togetherness with their loved ones.

There will be some stores that will remain open, either for normal operations or for a shortened workday.

For national chains, you should check with your neighborhood locations to see if they’re open or closed.
