Black Friday 2024 store hours: Target, Walmart, Best Buy and more sale hours announced
Here's what time you'll actually be able to bust through those doors post-Thanksgiving to be the first to jump on Black Friday sales.
It's almost here — the 2024 Black Friday shopping bonanza is just two weeks away (some sales have already kicked off like these early Black Friday deals under $50). It falls on Nov. 29 this year, and if you're planning to head to the stores bright and early Friday morning, it's time to come up with a game plan to catch the best doorbusters this year.
Don't worry, you won't miss much if you skip out on shopping Thanksgiving Day — most retailers keep their doors closed so employees can spend time with their families. (Here's which stores are open on turkey day.) But also, don't expect to rush into the stores at 2 a.m. looking to score deals because the earliest any of these retailers is opening is 5 a.m. — though most people will still be sleeping off the tryptophan.
Below, we've compiled a list of opening hours for some of our readers' favorite stores. More Black Friday deals are available online than in years past — and many retailers are even getting a head start, with plans to roll out deals before Thanksgiving. That said, some stores may still have in-person-only deals — so check the fine print in those old-school newspaper circulars and TV ads. Not interested in standing in lines? Shop these Amazon Black Friday deals instead.
