NEW JERSEY — Holiday shoppers in New Jersey who want to start their holiday shopping on Thanksgiving will have to be content to shop primarily online, as most major retailers announce they’ll be closed on the holiday.

There are a few exceptions to what has been a trend since 2019 for retail stores to close on Thanksgiving Day. Some discount dollar-type stores will observe limited hours, and both Cabela’s and Bass Pro Shops are open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day.

Several retail chains are already offering door-buster deals and pricing, as Black Friday events are no longer limited to a single day in a retail world changed by online companies. Also, retailers became more agile during the product shortages of the COVID-19 pandemic and were careful not to overstock, thereby avoiding excess inventories to unload during the holiday shopping season.
