Walmart Set To Close FOR AN ENTIRE DAY Next Month in Utah, California, and Nevada!
Get ready to mark your calendars, because the big-box behemoth that seems to never sleep is actually going to take a day off next month. Yep, you read that right. Walmart, the place where you can get everything from groceries to last-minute gift cards, will be locking its doors for an entire 24 hours. So, if you live in Utah, California, or Nevada, you’ll need to plan accordingly. The shelves won’t be restocked, the self-checkouts will be silent, and those iconic blue vests? Nowhere to be seen.
WHY THE DAY OFF?
But what could cause Walmart, the world's largest retailer, to hit the brakes for a whole day? Drumroll, please... It’s Thanksgiving! That’s right, the retail giant has officially announced that it’ll be closed on Thursday, November 28th, for the holiday, giving employees a well-deserved day off to spend with their families. It’s part of a tradition that started in 2020, and it’s happening again this year across Utah, California, Nevada, and the rest of the U.S.
Ever since 2020, Walmart decided to start giving its employees Thanksgiving Day off, and they’ve stuck to it ever since. So, no last-minute turkey runs or frantic grocery trips to Walmart on November 28th. Instead, it’s a day for associates to catch a break (or fight over the last piece of pumpkin pie) before the chaos of Black Friday sets in. And yes, Walmart will be open bright and early the next day—Black Friday—at 5 a.m. for all your holiday shopping needs.
Plan Ahead for Black Friday
If you're itching to shop, don't worry. Walmart is still rolling out holiday deals early in October, so you can start filling your cart long before Thanksgiving even hits. Utah, California, and Nevada residents, get ready to dive into the discounts without any turkey day stress. Just remember: no shopping on Thanksgiving itself. You’ve got 364 other days to get your Walmart fix!
So, whether you're prepping your feast or already eyeing those Black Friday sales, just make sure you’re not planning a Walmart trip on Thanksgiving, or you'll be greeted by closed doors.
