"Thanksgiving is a special day, and we want our store associates to have the chance to spend it with their families and loved ones," Walmart CEO John Furner said on X."
As the holiday season approaches, several grocery stores, including popular chains such as Trader Joe's, Kroger, Albertsons, and Stop & Shop, have also announced that they will be changing their operating hours to allow their employees to enjoy quality time with their loved ones.
