She thinks it is fine to have stores open on Black Friday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey should 100 percent be closed on Thanksgiving Day, but opening at midnight is perfect, I don\u2019t mind it at all,\u201d Gorman said.<\/p>\n<p>Peter Concilio, another student at Quinnipiac, agrees with the idea to have stores closed on Thanksgiving Day but open on Black Friday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor Thanksgiving Day, absolutely not! For Black Friday, absolutely yes,&#8221; Concilio said.&nbsp;&#8220;People need to walk off all those calories and look forward to another long day of mayhem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Walmart in Hamden will be open on Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday. The store hours will not change due to the holiday. It will remain open on both days from 7 a.m. until midnight.&nbsp;There are Black Friday discounts in store, followed by Cyber Monday deals.<\/p>\n<div\n        class=\"\n          image-block-outer-wrapper\n          layout-caption-below\n          design-layout-inline\n          \n          \n          \n        \"\n        data-test=\"image-block-inline-outer-wrapper\"\n    ><\/p>\n<figure\n            class=\"\n              sqs-block-image-figure\n              intrinsic\n            \"\n            style=\"max-width:1229.0px;\"\n        ><\/p>\n<div\n              \n                style=\"padding-bottom:54.84133529663086%;\"\n              \n              class=\"\n                image-block-wrapper\n                \n          \n        \n                has-aspect-ratio\n              \"\n              data-animation-role=\"image\"\n              \n  data-animation-override\n\n          ><br \/>\n            <noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hqnn.org\/hqpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-14-at-1.53.50-PM.png\" alt=\"Source:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.walmart.com\/store\/3545\/hamden-ct\/weekly-ads&amp;nbsp;\" \/><\/noscript><img class=\"thumb-image\" data-src=\"http:\/\/hqnn.org\/hqpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-14-at-1.53.50-PM.png\" data-image=\"http:\/\/hqnn.org\/hqpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-14-at-1.53.50-PM.png\" data-image-dimensions=\"1229x674\" data-image-focal-point=\"0.5,0.5\" alt=\"Source:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.walmart.com\/store\/3545\/hamden-ct\/weekly-ads&amp;nbsp;\" data-load=\"false\" data-image-id=\"5a0c80cee2c483e5b5a25914\" data-type=\"image\" \/>\n          <\/div><figcaption class=\"image-caption-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-caption\">\n<p>Source:&nbsp;https:\/\/www.walmart.com\/store\/3545\/hamden-ct\/weekly-ads&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Hamden location for Kohls will open later than normal on Thanksgiving Day.
