Thanksgiving Day 2022: Which stores are open and closed in San Diego

A record number of shoppers are expected to hit stores this week – about 166.3 million people plan to shop Thanksgiving Day through Cyber Monday – according to a report from the National Retail Federation and from Prosper Insights & Analytics.
While Black Friday marks the annual tradition of some shoppers waking up early for in-person sales, many retailers have extended their deals through the week leading up to Friday. And despite consumers facing record levels of inflation this year – it has slowed recently but is still up 8.2% year on year – retail experts expect a healthy flow of shoppers spending money this season.
