FLORIDA – Florida holiday shoppers looking to start their holiday shopping on Thanksgiving will have to contend with shopping primarily online as most major retailers remain closed for the holiday.

There are some exceptions to the trend since 2019 of retail stores closing on Thanksgiving Day. Some discount stores have limited hours, and both Cabela’s and Bass Pro Shops will be open on Thanksgiving Day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Several retail chains are already offering unbeatable deals and prices as Black Friday events are no longer limited to a single day in a retail world transformed by online companies. Additionally, retailers became more nimble during product shortages due to the COVID-19 pandemic and were careful not to carry excess inventory to prevent excess inventory from being liquidated during the holiday shopping season.
