Open or closed Thanksgiving, which does NJ prefer? (Poll)

This is a rundown of retailers that are opened and closed on Thanksgiving that we first published on November 14. According to a survey done two years ago, stores opening on Thanksgiving still remains unpopular with most people. The majority don’t like it and the majority don’t shop that day. Not surprisingly the younger you are the more accepting you are of the practice. Yet even the majority of younger people are still against it. Are we more jaded here in Jersey? You tell us. At the end of the list of stores opened and closed for Thanksgiving is a poll where you may give your opinion on the matter.

Black Friday is a given. You can expect almost every retailer is open the day after Thanksgiving. The real question these days is which stores remain loyal to the tradition of closing on Thanksgiving Day and which ones compete and serve the needs of those who want to get a jump on their holiday shopping.

From theblackfriday.com I've compiled a handy list of retailers in New Jersey you can expect to be open and then a separate list of those that remain closed. As always with lists like these, it is best to check with your particular location ahead of time.
