What stores are closed on Thanksgiving?

Stores are once again announcing their plans to either start Black Friday early or remain closed for Thanksgiving.

Some stores that closed last year, but have not announced their intentions for this Thanksgiving include Barnes & Noble, Target, Wal-mart, Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, REI, and Talbots.

The list is:
Burlington
Costco
