Williams Sonoma closes its US stores on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and Easter Sunday, a Thanksgiving policy the company announced permanently in 2020.
Williams Sonoma Made Its Thanksgiving Closure Permanent in 2020
Williams-Sonoma, Inc. formally announced in October 2020 that it would close all of its US stores on Thanksgiving Day going forward, a decision the company has maintained every year since.
