Target Announces Thanksgiving Closure and Holiday Plans

This should not come as a surprise as we expect most retailers to make similar announcements over the coming weeks and months.The article also states something we’ve been predicting – Target (and most other stores) will try to stretch out their sales and deals for the entire 4th quarter, starting in October and going right until the holidays rather than focus on Black Friday week. Notice that the term "Black Friday" doesn’t appear anywhere in Target or Walmart’s announcements. Stay tuned for more news.
