On November 12, 2009, CNN money released an article claiming Wal-Mart stores that are open 24 hours, but close on Thanksgiving Day, will in fact stay open 24 hours. Customers will be able to enter the store and form a line in front of the item they are interested in. While this is a great idea it might be best to bring a friend or two to stand in those other lines. http://money.cnn.com/2008/11/14/news/companies/walmart_blackfriday/index.htm?cnn=yes
