Black Friday store hours: What time Target, Walmart, Costco, Sam's Club, Best Buy and more open

One of America's favorite unofficial holidays is back – it's time for Black Friday shopping.

Even though numerous retailers have been advertising Black Friday deals throughout November – in-person or online – for some, nothing beats the thrill of hitting the mall or stores just hours after a Thanksgiving dinner.

But in recent years, retailers have scaled back from opening their doors on the evening or late-hours of Thanksgiving, giving their employees the chance to enjoy the holiday with their friends and family. Now, most companies open up early Friday morning.

Still, it's expected to be a record-breaking year for the weekend shopping; an estimated 166.3 million people are planning to shop from Thanksgiving Day through Cyber Monday, 114.9 million of which plan to shop on Black Friday, the National Retail Federation projects.

So if you're trying to get your hands on and splurge on the latest tech gadgets or your next winter outfit before someone else gets to it, here is when retailers will open for Black Friday (open times may vary nationwide, check your local locations to confirm store hours):
