Unlike dozens of other retailers who kick off their Black Friday sales on Thanksgiving Day, Costco will remain closed on the holiday, the retailer confirmed to The Huffington Post Friday.
“Since our inception 30-plus years ago, we have always been closed on Thanksgiving,” Paul Latham, a spokesman for Costco, told HuffPost. “It will be the same this year.”
Costco is one of a handful of large retail stores that have refused to take part in what some have called a “War on Thanksgiving” being waged by companies looking to squeeze the most profit out of the holiday shopping season. In recent years, Walmart, Target, Macy’s and dozens of other large chains have kicked off their Black Friday sales on Thanksgiving Day, meaning millions of low-wage workers can’t spend the holiday with their families.
