Home Depot will close all U.S. stores only on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, a policy that underscores cost control and employee time off. The company mirrors Walmart’s Thanksgiving closure, setting an industry baseline for Home Depot holiday hours and nationwide scheduling. The approach clarifies Home Depot Thanksgiving hours while maintaining a 363-day operating calendar. Closures target low-traffic days with high operating costs, while online ordering continues and in-store pickup resumes afterward. Placer.ai reports a recent 0.4% foot-traffic dip, reinforcing the limited upside of opening on these dates. Roughly 500,000 workers receive guaranteed days off. Most stores run 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays, with shorter Sundays; Canada observes additional provincial holidays.
