Store Hours and Early Bird Sales on Black Friday
Unlike past years, most retailers are anxious to let Black Friday shoppers get sneak peeks at the day-after-Thanksgiving sales planned. Keeping prices a secret from competitors has taken a back seat to trying to lure customers in to shop early. Many of the outlet centers are planning to open at 12:01 a.m. Friday, after we've all had our Thanksgiving dinners. Other stores like Kohls will be opening its doors at 4 a.m. with most major stores following with 5 a.m. openings.
With the majority of holiday spenders saying they plan to spend less this year than last year, stores are scrambling to do what they can to make certain they have their best sales set to capture what little money will be going around.
To see what time stores will be opening, when they will be running their earlybird and doorbuster discounts see the list - Store Hours and Early Bird Sales on Black Friday.
