The popular retail chains TJ Maxx and Marshalls surprised their customers by announcing that they will close all their stores in the United States for 24 hours on November 27. The decision comes in observance of Thanksgiving Day, allowing employees to enjoy the holiday with their families and loved ones.
Both brands, part of the TJX Companies group, confirmed that they will resume operations the following day with the highly anticipated Black Friday deals, one of the biggest shopping events of the year. However, the announcement has sparked mixed reactions among consumers who had planned to take advantage of discounts starting Thursday.
Will this closure affect Black Friday sales in the United States?
It may have only a slight impact, but the company remains confident that its loyal customer base will return and that the number of shoppers will multiply the next day. The decision reinforces the brand’s commitment to employee well-being, even if it means pausing business operations during the busiest shopping season of the year.
