Are you open or closed on Thanks Giving Day? How about Business Hours?

I'm attended, so we will be closed ----- all my ladies are cooking T-day dinner, and I'm going over the mountains to Mom's.

We're closed every year for T-day. My customers just come on other days.

I'm open regular hours for self-service, but will be unattended with no WDF service. The mat has operated this way for years with no problems. T-Day is a fairly busy day too.

We are closing one store, remaining fully attended at the busiest store and the main store has an employee who wishes to work.

I'll be playing betty crocker......

I fight with myself every year on this holiday, this year I'm closing both stores. In my area all of the attended mats close. Only one dog unattended mat stays open so I'll throw him a bone. Thanksgiving can be very busy but I'm closing and about all my loyal costomers will come another day.

There is rest for the weary.

My machines beg for holiday's off, no way that will happen. They do get time and a half though---cause my comp closes.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

We sure have a lot to be thankful for. Great country, great people, and great opportunities.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

We're open 364 days a year, closing only on Christmas day. I tried closing on Thanksgiving the first year I owned the mat, 10 years ago this month. I got such a wumping from my customers for closing that we now stay open. Some years we are very busy, and some just normal. My attendants work their home schedules around our hours. If one wants the day off I offer the hours to another attendant, or work the time myself.

We close New years Day, Easter Sunday, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving day and Christmas Day. Always have, always will. My main comp also closes. Other nearby mats that open are ratholes. The days before and after these days we get slammed.

The store that remained open for the day did very well. This store count period runs from Thursday to Thursday. Usually by mid morning the count is calculated. However, as yesterday was a holiday the store was not counted. I headed up there by mid morning today and proceeded to count. There was an extra day in the mix, but the revenue was up 23% from a usual week. It was a busy, busy week....
