TJX to close stores on Thanksgiving
By Sam Bonacci
Framingham’s TJX will close its T.J.Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods stores on Thanksgiving as part of a “Bring Back the Holidays Campaign,” the company announced Tuesday.
According to the company, which will have stores open on Black Friday, the decision is part of an effort to encourage employees and others to spend time together on Thanksgiving.
TJX joins a growing list of stores that have pledged to remain closed on Thanksgiving, including Burlington Coat Factory, Home Depot and Staples. Additional stores, notably REI, have pledged to close on Black Friday.
REI’s closure in particular has prompted a debate among the business community about whether to opt out of the holiday shopping surrounding Thanksgiving and Black Friday.
