Black Friday is quickly approaching, and it’s evolving in the age of online shopping. The day after Thanksgiving marks the beginning of the holiday shopping season, but many retailers have already started rolling out early discounts for eager shoppers.
Historically, Black Friday through Cyber Monday has been known as a prime time for great deals, especially on bigger items and popular holiday gifts. However, consumer experts point out that significant savings aren’t limited to this weekend alone. They recommend that shoppers take the time to compare prices and check past price trends before making a purchase.
While online shopping is convenient, many people still enjoy the in-store experience during the holidays, relishing the festive atmosphere of malls and retail centers. Stores are doing their part to attract customers back inside by offering unique in-store promotions and experiences. As Thanksgiving ends, many retailers that typically close for the holiday will open early Friday to kick off the shopping frenzy.
Here’s a rundown of the Black Friday hours for some well-known retail chains:
