Although several stores used to remain open on the federal holiday for early Black Friday shopping, many have started to close on Thanksgiving so employees can have the day off.
Kohl’s is one store that tended to stay open for several years like it normally does on most other federal holidays.
But will you be able to start your holiday shopping at Kohl’s right after family dinner this Thanksgiving?
🎯 Thanksgiving Day: Closed
-
Kohl’s will remain closed on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 27, 2025 — no in-store shopping will be available.

The closure reflects the company’s decision to give employees the holiday off, following the precedent set in prior years.

✅ What This Means for Shoppers
If you were hoping to visit Kohl’s in person on Thanksgiving — you’ll need to wait until Friday. The early-morning Black Friday reopening offers a good chance to grab deals, but hours may vary by store: it’s wise to check your local Kohl’s store page or call ahead.

Is Kohl’s open on Thanksgiving 2025?
No, Kohl’s will not be open. Shoppers will have to wait until Black Friday to take advantage of the deals in-store.
The department stores will be closed on Thanksgiving so that staff can stay home to celebrate with their families. This follows the company’s Thanksgiving celebration plans from last year.
But Kohl’s will reopen early on Black Friday, Nov. 28, for shoppers to access all the major sales starting at 6 a.m. ET.
If you’d prefer to shop in-store on Black Friday, you can head to your nearest Kohl’s location, which you can find here.
