In balancing its commitment to meeting customer needs with its commitment to associates, Sears decided to be open for limited hours on Thanksgiving and, where practical, to fill the schedules with associates who volunteered to work that day and seasonal associates. Given the tough economic times many folks are facing, Sears has seen demand from associates who want the opportunity to supplement their usual income with the holiday pay premium.

On Thanksgiving Day, Sears will be open from 7 a.m. to noon (local time) and Kmart will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. (local time) in most markets.
