INDIANAPOLIS — HHGregg announced Tuesday, Oct. 11, that its 220 brick-and-mortar stores will be closed on Thanksgiving this year, making it the first major electronics retailer to do so.

The Indianapolis-based chain says the decision is based on its core values and beliefs of being a family-first company.

“It’s important to us that our associates are able to be home with their families on Thanksgiving, and we are encouraging our customers to do the same, knowing great deals will be available online, on Black Friday and through the weekend,” said Bob Riesbeck, president and CEO of the company.

HHGregg’s Thanksgiving week holiday hours:

• Wednesday: 9 a.m. – 10 p.m.
• Thanksgiving: CLOSED
• Black Friday: 7 a.m. – 10 p.m.
• Saturday: 9 a.m. – 10 p.m.
