Back in the day, Thanksgiving was all about the turkey.

Now it's all about the shopping -- and 2024 Black Friday sales -- as major retailers try to lure in holiday revelers with their best prices of the year.

As always, the frenzy starts in the early afternoon. That's when Black Friday ads begin to blanket the airwaves during the marathon NFL Thanksgiving football games.

Then, after the dinner dishes are cleared, be prepared to pounce.

Most stores doing business on Thanksgiving Day usually open anywhere from 3PM - 6PM. Meanwhile, keep it here for updates on holiday openings and closings.

Whether you're in the "I can't resist a good sale" camp, or want to just sit back and enjoy the day, here are a list of major retailers and supermarkets who are open - or closed - on Thanksgiving Day:
