Store hours differ by location — the store locator has your store's exact holiday hours. Hours vary by location. The days marked closed here are company-wide; everything else is your local store or restaurant’s call, so check before you go.
Target closes its stores completely on three days a year: Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. The Thanksgiving closure became permanent policy in 2021, ending the doorbuster-Thursday era for good, and the Easter and Christmas closures are just as consistent.
Every other holiday is a shopping day, usually on normal hours, with Christmas Eve the main early-close to know about. Same-day pickup and delivery pause when the stores do.
