“We can all agree that, so far, 2020 has turned out differently than what we might have expected,” the blog post said. “And now the holiday season at Best Buy, including Thanksgiving Day, is going to look different too.”

Already, Walmart and Target announced their stores will be closed on Thanksgiving Day. In lieu of in-store shopping, BestBuy is pushing consumers to shop online via its website or app.
