Staples will still be offering deals on Thanksgiving this year, but they will only be available online. It will continue to offer deals online through Cyber Monday. It won’t start deals at its physical locations for Black Friday until 6:00 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 27, 2015.

Demos Parneros, Staples’ president for North America and online sales, said that the retailer was choosing not to open stores on Thanksgiving so that its workers could enjoy the holiday. It also said offering deals online allows customers to enjoy the holiday while still saving money. The 6:00 a.m. opening also gives everyone a little rest before Black Friday starts.

Customers that shop Staples online on can choose to have their packages ready for pick up at a physical store that same day. It’s unknown if this option will be available on Thanksgiving, but if it is, it could mean that those orders could be picked up on Black Friday.
