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.

The holiday period used to be marked by a few key days — Black Friday being the biggest. Stores would use this occasion to rack up most of their holiday sales. But with the growth of online shopping, retailers aren’t as reliant on holidays to drive sales anymore.

Many are open on holidays, which is also convenient for last-minute shopping for an outfit, a gift, or a food item we forgot for the holiday meal. If you’re on the road or need something small, gas stations and convenience stores such as Speedway and Circle K are your best bet. Check the list below to see which retailers will remain closed on Thanksgiving Day.
