Consumer electronics chain hhgregg Inc. has become the latest retailer to take a stand against Thanksgiving shopping and plans to close its doors for the holiday.

The Indianapolis-based chain with 220 stores in 19 states says it's important for its associates to be home with their families on Thanksgiving. In Chattanooga, hhgregg has an appliance store on Lifestyle Way, just north of Hamilton Place Mall.

The retailer says it makes good business sense not to open on Thanksgiving as it's not getting a huge spike for that day. It noted that its online site will continue to offer lots of deals on Thanksgiving. It will re-open at 7 a.m. on the Friday after the turkey feast.
