Black Friday Store Hours: When Major Retailers Open

Black Friday still signals the start of peak holiday shopping, even as many retailers run early online promotions. The best bargains often appear between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, particularly on big-ticket and seasonal items. Shoppers should compare prices, check price histories and confirm local store hours before heading out.

Black Friday remains a key marker of the holiday shopping season, even as many retailers spread deals across several weeks. The day after Thanksgiving still draws big crowds in stores and online, with many merchants promoting early Black Friday offers well in advance.

While sales patterns have changed, some of the best discounts often appear between Black Friday and Cyber Monday — especially on big-ticket items, seasonal merchandise and trending products. That said, deep discounts aren't limited to a single day; savvy shoppers should compare prices, check price histories and read the fine print to confirm that a deal is genuine.

Many shoppers enjoy the in-person atmosphere, music and exclusive doorbusters at malls and shopping districts. Several retailers that closed on Thanksgiving will reopen early on Friday to kick off the peak holiday-shopping period.
