Retailers Benefit from Thanksgiving Closures

The Mall of America, the largest shopping mall in the U.S., led the charge in retailers who kept their doors closed on Thanksgiving.

The mall shut down on Thanksgiving for the first time in five years in order to give the holiday back to families rather than have shoppers flee their dinner tables to get some early Black Friday sales.

And it looks like that moral strategy actually paid off.

The mall was "jam-packed" on Black Friday, according to Deloitte retail specialist Whitney Young. The parking lot was full when she arrived at 5:30 a.m. and traffic worsened after that.

This is especially surprising considering predictions that store traffic would fall on Black Friday this year.

Business Insider's Hayley Peterson has the full story.
