Stores Open on Thanksgiving Day

If you're more about the holiday shopping versus the turkey, there's good news -- many stores will be open on Thanksgiving Day.

Retail stores this year are hurting for business, so they're doing anything they can to get you through the door, from earlier sales to longer store hours "They're trying to eke every penny out of every day of the selling season," Wendy Liebmann, president of the consulting firm WSL Strategic Retail, told USA Today . "The more days they're open, the more chance they have of pulling money out of our pockets."
