The holiday closures are a stark contrast to several years ago, when shoppers were finishing Thanksgiving dinner early so they could get to the mall or other stores for a jump on Black Friday sales. With the growth of online shopping, retailers aren’t as reliant on holidays to drive sales anymore.

Critics have long blasted retailers for opening on Thanksgiving, saying employees should enjoy the holiday with family instead of bracing for hordes of bargain-hungry shoppers. And this year, more retailers are following suit and remaining closed for 24 hours. Check the list below to see which retailers will remain closed on Thanksgiving Day.
