KOHL’S is set to follow other retailers in closing its doors for 24 hours in a few weeks.
While the physical stores will close, consumers can still shop online.

As the holiday season approaches, many shoppers will be plagued with closed doors on Thanksgiving just like they were for Easter and Labor Day.
Kohl’s, a major department store with over 1,100 locations in the U.S., is no exception.
Kohl’s closes every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.
Thanksgiving falls on November 27 this year.
Kohl’s remains open for other major holidays like Labor Day, Easter and New Year’s Eve and Day, according to Go Banking Rates.
Kohl’s said in a 2022 press release that shoppers can use the Kohl’s app and website to shop on Thanksgiving Day.
Before Thanksgiving, Kohl’s shoppers can see a fall savings event running from October 6 to October 9.
The sales event is meant to help shoppers “stock up on key fall essentials and kickstart holiday shopping with savings up to 50% off.”
Deals are being offered in store and online.
OTHER STORES CLOSING
Kohl’s is following in the footsteps of other major retailers like Target and Costco who will shut their doors for the holiday.
Target announced it was closing for Thanksgiving in 2024 but shoppers could still access the website to shop.
The retailer opened its doors early the next morning in honor of Black Friday.
Many other retailers that sell similar merchandise to Kohl’s like TJ Maxx, Burlington and Macy’s are set to close on the holiday, leaving shoppers with limited options.
Shoppers might choose to wait until the big annual savings event the day after Thanksgiving.
Kohl’s will likely open at 5:00 a.m. for Black Friday, according to BlackFriday.com.

The retailer used to start its Black Friday sale on Thanksgiving night but has since ceased the extra hours, per BlackFriday.com.
Walmart has also been known to close all its locations on Thanksgiving.
In 2024, Lowe’s confirmed it was also closing its 1,700 locations for the holiday as its hardware store competitor Home Depot was set to do the same.
COSTCO CLOSES
Costco, a bulk warehouse retailer, also closes its doors on many holidays.
All U.S. warehouses will close on Thanksgiving, Costco’s website said.
Ahead of the holiday, Costco released its 11-item Thanksgiving meal kit.
The kit contains 28 pounds of food and serves eight people.
It retails for $269.99 but shoppers can get it for $70 cheaper for a limited time with a manufacturer coupon.
Before Thanksgiving, some places will shut operations for Columbus Day on October 13.
The United States Postal Service will close its 33,780 branches on October 13.
Bank of America and Wells Fargo are also set to close their locations for 24 hours.
