**New York, NY** – Black Friday, the highly anticipated shopping extravaganza, arrives on November 29th, offering shoppers a plethora of deals on electronics, clothing, and more. This year’s event also includes the online Cyber Monday (December 2nd) and Small Business Saturday (November 30th).

Major retailers are largely foregoing Thanksgiving Day openings, opting instead for a Friday morning start. Walmart, Target, and Best Buy will all open at 6 a.m. local time, while Kohl’s will open at 5 a.m. Other retailers, such as JCPenney and Nordstrom, have varying opening times, ranging from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m., depending on location. Customers are advised to check individual store websites for specific hours.

Hours vary significantly across retailers. While some, like Burlington (7 a.m. to midnight), maintain extended hours, others such as IKEA (10 a.m. to 9 p.m.) have more limited Black Friday operating times. Several stores, including REI, will remain closed on both Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Home Depot and Lowe’s will open at 6 a.m., while Ace Hardware hours vary by location. Petco and PetSmart will also be open, with hours from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., respectively.

Many retailers, including H&M, Sephora, Victoria’s Secret, and Staples, will have varied hours depending on location and mall hours. Consumers are encouraged to utilize store locators to confirm their local store’s operating hours. Big Lots will maintain unique hours by opening at 7 a.m. on Thanksgiving, and 6 a.m. on Black Friday.

With the diverse range of hours and deals on offer, consumers are urged to plan their shopping trips accordingly and check individual retailer websites for accurate and up-to-date information.
