RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Many retail stores are opening their doors on Thanksgiving with hopes of gaining a profit, but employees feel working on Thanksgiving takes away their family time.
JCPenney, KMart, Toys R Us, Best Buy, and many more retail stores will be open Thanksgiving night which means their employees have to work on the holiday.
One family is petitioning for JCPenney to close on Thanksgiving. Most JCPenney stores will open at 3 p.m. on the holiday. The man who started the petition says his wife has been a JCPenney employee for over 30 years and they want to enjoy time as a family before the holiday shopping season begins on Black Friday.
