Stores are taking a stand against Black Friday's encroachment on Thanksgiving.

But, some retailers are bucking the trend.
Many have announced that they would be staying closed on Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is November 23 this year. That means Black Friday is November 24. And some retailers are looking to keep those two days separate.

A trend has begun where some retailers will start their Black Friday sales on the night of Thanksgiving, and open in the evening and stay open all night. It started with Sears in 2010, moved to Walmart in 2011, and then Target in 2012.

Opening on Thanksgiving is controversial. Some states have enacted so-called "blue laws" which prohibit a store from opening on Thanksgiving, creating a rush at midnight. M

Some retailers, however, are looking to buck that trend in a meaningful way.

Here are the retailers confirmed to be closed on Thanksgiving, according to data gathered by bestblackfriday.com:

More retailers are expected to be on this list as they announce their opening hours for the holidays.

As more stores close for Thanksgiving, however, revenue gained on Thanksgiving Day continues to rise due to ecommerce sales. Adobe predicts it will rise 6.22% this year, outpacing brick and mortar's 5.38%.
