U.S. financial markets are also closed for Thanksgiving, and they will close early on Black Friday, as well.

There are still some nationwide chains that plan to stay open on Thursday, often with reduced holiday hours. (And it should be noted that most retailers will still host early Black Friday deals on their websites, of course, for those itching to do some holiday shopping online while they’re digesting their turkey.)

“We’re on our way to a massive, record-breaking $207 billion holiday shopping season, and Thanksgiving weekend will continue to play a major role, especially online, as many physical stores have decided to close on Thursday,” said Taylor Schreiner, director of Adobe Digital Insights, in a statement.

Schreiner notes that shoppers have already spent 20% more year-over-year due to supply chain constraints and inflation. Online sales totaled $72.2 billion between Nov. 1 and Nov. 23.

Shoppers who decide to wait until Black Friday shouldn’t expect deeper discounts. Wedbush analysts say lean inventory and high customer demand have hindered discounting.

“Specifically, there are no brands in our coverage that are noticeably more promotional year-over-year at this point, and there are several that are less promotional,” Wedbush said.

The National Retail Federation forecasts a record holiday shopping season, with sales reaching between $843.4 billion and $859 billion.
