Powered by RedCircle

The biggest private employer in the United States just announced an unheard-of initiative.

For the first time ever, Walmart will close stores on Thanksgiving Day, breaking a tradition of beginning Black Friday deals on Turkey Day and offering employees the chance to be with their families in what’s been a trying year in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

On this Business Casual snippet, hosts Daniel Litwin and Tyler Kern discuss whether or not this was a smart economic move for the retailer, how Black Friday might look different in the midst of the pandemic, and what this might mean for the entirety of the brick-and-mortar retail landscape.
