Walmart Closing All Montana Locations on Same Day
BUTTE, MT - Love them or hate them, Walmart has been a store Montanans have long relied on for many years.
But, in light of an upcoming trend that has affected most big-box retailers, Walmart will be closing its Montana locations on the same day this year. Here's what that means for you, and how you can plan accordingly.
In what has now become an annual tradition, Walmart has announced it will continue its nationwide closure on Thanksgiving Day, including all of its Montana locations.
So if you were hoping for a last-minute dash to the store for stuffing or that crucial forgotten ingredient, think again.
This decision, which began in 2020, was made to allow employees to enjoy Thanksgiving with their families, giving them a well-deserved break after dealing with the chaotic holiday shopping season.
For many Montanans, Walmart has become the go-to store for all things Thanksgiving, whether it’s grabbing groceries or hunting for Black Friday deals. With Walmart closed, the state's Thanksgiving shopping landscape looks a bit different. Here’s what you need to know:
- No Thanksgiving Day Shopping: You’ll need to plan ahead. Walmart’s doors won’t be opening until Black Friday morning, so make sure you’ve stocked up on everything you need well before Thursday.
- Black Friday Still a Go: If you’re a fan of the early-morning Black Friday madness, don’t worry. Walmart will open its doors bright and early on Friday, ready to offer those jaw-dropping deals we all crave. So, you’ll still have a shot at snagging that new TV or kitchen gadget.
While Walmart’s closure might throw a wrench in your last-minute shopping plans, it’s not the end of the world. With a little foresight and preparation, you can still have an unforgettable Thanksgiving—without needing that emergency turkey run.
Plus, you’ll be able to enjoy a calm, stress-free Thursday, knowing that the local mom-and-pops will still be ready for you to support them leading up to the big day.
