Shoppers looking to visit Home Depot should prepare ahead, as an upcoming shopping blackout will affect their plans. The home improvement retailer plans to close all 2,015 stores for a full day in the near future, following a similar move by its rival Lowe’s.
Home Depot locations nationwide will shut down temporarily in the coming weeks for Thanksgiving celebrations.
This year, the national holiday is on the 28th, which is the fourth Thursday in November.
Every Home Depot store generates approximately $175,000 daily. The retailer is giving up approximately $400 million in sales by closing its stores for the holiday.
Home Depot only closes its doors for millions on two specific days each year: Thanksgiving and Christmas. The home improvement store operates on alternating federal holidays.
Even though Home Depot will be closed for Thanksgiving, shoppers can still get their retail therapy starting early on Black Friday.
Home Depot will open its doors at 6 am the day after Thanksgiving, featuring fantastic discounts on a range of home appliances and products. Customers can utilize the Home Depot Store Finder to check the operating hours of their nearby store.
If you’re eager to get your hardware supplies before Black Friday, be sure to look into the Thanksgiving hours of your nearby hardware stores.
Shoppers won’t be able to count on Lowe’s, as it will also be closed on Thanksgiving.

Nordstrom has announced that all 360 stores will close for the entire day in a few weeks, and Macy’s is unlikely to provide much assistance.
