Dick’s Sporting Goods will close stores on Thanksgiving Day
Dick’s Sporting Goods announced Monday that all stores will be closed on Thanksgiving Day as the coronavirus pandemic continues to affect retailers nationwide.
In the past, most Dick’s Sporting Goods stores were open with limited evening hours on Thanksgiving, according to the company. But this year, all stores will remain closed on the holiday. Dick’s will also continue to give all employees a 15% pay bump through the end of the year.
“We are so thankful to our teammates for their hard work and dedication,” said CEO Ed Stack in a statement. “We will continue to do all we can to support them and show our gratitude.”
Some context: Dick’s move follows similar announcements from Target and Walmart, who will also stay closed on Thanksgiving Day.
