Remember when stores were all closed on Thanksgiving and family and friends came together for the holiday? Yeah, well, those days seem long over at many chain stores, where competitive pricing and the thirst for a deal have pushed stores to open on the holiday itself. Kohl's will open at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving, as will Macy's and other chains. The famed Herald Square Macy's, pictured here, will also open at 6 p.m., and will remain open overnight, according to its website. Credit: Macy's
