Some good news for a change, it seems that a recent trend is reversing itself and this year more retailers will be closing on Thanksgiving, instead of more staying open. \u00a0 Lowe’s, Pier 1, Petco, Petsmart and Sam’s Club are among the retailers that have decided to choose turkey over sales.<\/p>\n
