Walmart Inc. said Friday that all of its U.S. store locations will close for Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 25, as a "thank you" to associates for their continued hard work during the pandemic.

This is the second consecutive year that Walmart has closed stores on Thanksgiving Day to give time back to associates.

Stores will operate regular posted hours Nov. 24. Information about store hours for Nov. 26 will be released a later date.
