Staples Reverses Course, Will Close Stores on Thanksgiving Day

Staples is taking a stance against a growing holiday shopping trend and will be closed on Thanksgiving this year, the company said Thursday. The retailer has been open on Thanksgiving the past two years, but this year it says customers and employees should have the chance to stay home with family and friends. Instead, Staples will have online-only deals on the holiday. Stores will open at 6 a.m. on Black Friday.
