Are you looking forward to spending Thanksgiving Day standing in line and fighting with fellow shoppers over the last remote-controlled dinosaur? No? It doesn’t really matter whether you plan to show up or not: opening at 5 P.M. on Thanksgiving Day worked out for Toys ‘R’ Us last year, and they’re planning to do the same again this year.

Are you looking forward to spending Thanksgiving Day standing in line and fighting with fellow shoppers over the last remote-controlled dinosaur? No? It doesn’t really matter whether you plan to show up or not: opening at 5 P.M. on Thanksgiving Day worked out for Toys ‘R’ Us last year, and they’re planning to do the same again this year.
We’ve been keeping an eye on this trend for a few years now, mostly because we really like Thanksgiving and also think that our friends, family, and readers who work in retail deserve a turkey and mashed potatoes break before the holiday shopping frenzy begins. In 2012, Toys ‘R’ Us opened at 8 P.M. on Thanksgiving Day. Last year, in 2013, they moved the opening time up to 5 P.M., and they’re sticking with that for this year, then remaining open for 30 hours, finally closing at 11 P.M. on Friday.
Holidays? Who needs holidays?
