No time for leftovers! Black Friday starts early this year...

Posted by Jessie B Hawkins on

Looks like there will be no time for seconds this Thanksgiving for Black Friday shoppers. Some retailers, including the world’s largest, are opening earlier than ever this year. Wal-Mart and Sears are opening their stores at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving. Kmart will be open on Thanksgiving Day from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will reopen from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. Macy’s, Best Buy and Kohl’s all open at midnight.

According to NBC, Wal-Mart has been getting flack on Facebook for not observing the full holiday, but business analysts claim the payoff is worth the backlash: Stores that extended their hours to open earlier saw an average 22% increase in sales. So, while shoppers might complain about Black Friday encroaching on Turkey Day, they’re still turning out in droves to buy things anyway.

 

Are you a Black Friday shopper? I'm to lazy...I could never get up or stay up just to shop.  LOL
