When Do Stores Open on Black Friday? Holiday Hours for Walmart, Target, Best Buy and More

There’s nothing wrong with doing all of your Black Friday shopping online, but many still enjoy the rush of scoring a great deal in person. If you’re looking to make the most of this year’s in-store offers, you’ll need to know when they open their doors. To that end, we’ve broken down the Black Friday hours for all the major retailers offering savings this year.
Just be aware that hours at individual locations may vary, so be sure to check your local branch before setting up camp on Thursday night.

Note that in-store Black Friday shopping is known for its energetic (OK, chaotic) energy: frantic customers, long lines and the excitement of knowing you just scored an amazing discount. Some folks even camp outside overnight to lock in deals on items like TVs and iPads. Obviously, that isn’t for everyone. And with many retailers offering the same deals online, it’s worth considering whether you’re better off buying online or in-store.

If you do happen to be in the market for a specific product, there’s a good chance you won’t have to shop in person to pick it up on sale. We’ve collected some of the season’s absolute best online offers across a number of categories, retailers and price ranges.
