FresYes Guide to Black Friday store openings

Thanksgiving is Thursday, which means the holiday shopping season is upon us. Here at FresYes, we want to help bargain hunters prepare for Black Friday, so here’s a look at when some popular stores and shopping centers are set to open for your shopping needs.

Big box and department stores

As in recent years, some retailers are kicking off Black Friday on Thanksgiving. Target and Walmart are both opening Thursday at 6 p.m. Unlike last year, Target stores won’t stay open through the night; they’ll close at midnight and then reopen at 6 a.m. Friday.

Traditionally, some of the biggest Black Friday lines have been at Best Buy. They are set to open at 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving. Best Buy Door Busters include a 50-inch 4K TV for $179.99. Deals like that are only offered in store and not online.

Macy’s stores are also opening at 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving and will close at 2 a.m. Kohl’s and Toys R Us both open at 5 p.m. too, but they’ll stay open 30 straight hours—until midnight on Black Friday.
