Mall of America, the largest shopping center in North America, will remain closed on Thanksgiving Day this year. Management said it made the decision "in an effort to give the holiday back to the 15,000 employees who dedicate their time to millions of guests each year."
In a letter sent to Mall of America employees and tenants Wednesday morning, Mall of America Executive Vice President, Rich Hoge and Senior Vice President of Marketing, Jill Renslow shared, “In years past we’ve all rallied together to answer the call for 24/7 shopper access that the Thanksgiving/Black Friday weekend brings. However, it also meant that team members may not have been able to share the day with family and friends. That is why this year we have made the decision to close on Thanksgiving Day so that team members can put that energy where it matters most, into making memories with the people they care about most.”
Some Mall of America tenants, restaurants and attractions may choose to be open on Thanksgiving Day. For those who do open, Mall of America will have security and other key personnel on duty on Thanksgiving Day to ensure smooth operations.
