Kohl’s® is a popular destination for clothing, home goods, toys and holiday gifts, especially during November when Black Friday sales ramp up.
If you’re planning a Thanksgiving weekend shopping trip, here’s exactly how Kohl’s Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday 2025 hours work so you can plan ahead.
Is Kohl’s Open on Thanksgiving Day 2025?
No. Kohl’s stores will be closed on Thursday, Nov. 27, 2025, for Thanksgiving Day. Kohl’s ended its longtime tradition of Thanksgiving Day openings after 2020 and is expected to continue closing all U.S. stores for the holiday.

- The Kohl’s App
- Online order processing (pickup resumes Friday)
| Day | Hours |
|---|---|
| Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 27) | Stores closed; online shopping available 24/7 |
Example: Many Black Friday deals typically launch online early, so you can shop on Thanksgiving Day even if the physical stores are closed.
Is Kohl’s Open on Black Friday 2025?
