Kohl's is closing its stores Thanksgiving Day for both safety and convenience reasons, according to a company blog post.
The retailer, which made the announcement Thursday, said it's expecting customers to shop earlier and take advantage of online and omnichannel purchase options given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
"The holiday season is when Kohl's shines brightest, and as we move into the holiday season of this very unusual year, we are adapting our plans in response to changing customer expectations and behaviors," Michelle Gass, Kohl's CEO, said in the announcement. "We are deeply appreciative of how our team of Kohl's associates have shown up to serve our customers through this pandemic, and know that they will continue to show Kohl's at our best throughout the holidays."
