Harley-Davidson Closes 629 Dealerships for Thanksgiving Shutdown

URGENT UPDATE: Harley-Davidson is set to abruptly close all 629 dealerships across the United States for a full 24 hours starting Thursday, November 23, in observance of Thanksgiving. This means that anyone needing service or shopping for merchandise must act quickly—head to your local shop immediately, as all stores will be completely shut down.

The nationwide closure impacts every dealership from California, which has the highest concentration, to Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, Michigan, and Illinois. All locations will reopen on Black Friday, November 24, when massive sales are expected to draw in both loyal fans and new customers eager to take advantage of deals.

In a remarkable pre-Black Friday move, Harley-Davidson is already offering significant discounts online, with selected merchandise slashed by 50%. Items such as riding jackets and riding pants are available at these reduced prices on the brand’s website. However, the best selection is rumored to be found at local dealerships, making it vital for enthusiasts to visit before the closure.

This unexpected shutdown follows the recent closure of a popular dealership, which was abruptly shut down after a change in ownership—a move that has left some customers and employees in shock. Additionally, the newly appointed Harley-Davidson CEO has promised to revitalize the brand and its community, emphasizing a strong connection with riders through initiatives like exclusive perks for members of the Harley Owners Group (HOG).

Don’t miss out on these crucial final hours to secure servicing or merchandise. Harley-Davidson enthusiasts are urged to take action now, ensuring they are prepared for the Thanksgiving holiday and ready to jump on Black Friday deals as soon as the dealerships reopen.

Stay tuned for further updates as this story develops, and keep an eye on local dealerships for the best offers available.
