This year's Thanksgiving Day is November 26. The day after that is the day that the most important holiday shopping season of the year in the US begins, also known as “Black Friday.” On this day, all major shopping malls in the US will launch great discounts and promotions. In recent years, many businesses have launched early promotions for “Black Friday” on or before Thanksgiving.

However, this year, due to the coronavirus pandemic, it is expected that big offline Thanksgiving sales will become extremely deserted, so Walmart announced that it will close offline physical stores on Thanksgiving day and begin the “Black Friday” promotion in physical stores from 5 a.m. the next morning. According to information, due to the impact of the epidemic, this year's “Black Friday” promotion mainly focuses on some very practical household items, such as printers, towels, socks, and underwear.

At the same time, in order to control traffic to physical stores, Walmart started the online holiday shopping season earlier this year, and offered free shipping for orders over $35. Some products can also choose free next-day delivery or door-to-door pickup.
