Black Friday (shopping)

This topic is notable because Thanksgiving store hours have been a subject of public discussion and corporate policy shifts in recent years. Many retailers, including Target, have adjusted their approach to holiday operations, balancing consumer demand for early Black Friday sales with considerations for employee holiday time. The specific hours indicate whether stores will be closed for the holiday or open for shoppers.

Recently, this topic has appeared in news headlines as media outlets provide annual updates on retailer holiday schedules for the 2025 season. Multiple news organizations have published articles detailing Target's Thanksgiving and Black Friday operating hours alongside those of other major retailers, helping consumers plan their shopping activities during the holiday period.

These announcements typically include information about whether Target stores will be open on Thanksgiving Day itself and their opening times for Black Friday sales events. The coverage reflects ongoing public interest in holiday shopping logistics and the evolving retail landscape surrounding these traditional shopping days.
