Dick’s Sporting Goods announced it will close all store locations and distribution centers on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2020. The company also announced that store and distribution center employees will continue to receive a 15 percent pay premium through the end of the year with the challenges presented by COVID-19.
The closures on Thanksgiving Day also include specialty stores Golf Galaxy and Field & Stream.
“We are so thankful to our teammates for their hard work and dedication,” said Ed Stack, chairman and CEO. “They have navigated this year with strength, commitment and care for each other and for our customers. We will continue to do all we can to support them and show our gratitude.”
In previous years most Dick’s Sporting Goods stores were open with limited evening hours on Thanksgiving.
All Dick’s Sporting Goods locations will operate on standard business hours on Wednesday, November 25. Information on holiday hours, which begin Friday, November 27, will be shared at a later date.
The move comes after Walmart, on July 21, said it would close on Thanksgiving. Target on Monday also said it would close on Thanksgiving Day.
