"The day after Thanksgiving is a holiday in itself for retailers. Historically, Black Friday has been a time when shoppers wake up early and head to stores for the best deals of the year. More recently, though, more and more consumers have been opting out of the mad rush in stores and turning to online deals, many of which started a week ago and now extend all weekend long till Cyber Monday, December 1."
"What time do Target, Best Buy, Kohl's, and Walmart open? Many major big-box retailers open their doors nice and early for Black Friday, starting with Kohl's and JCPenney, which open at 5 a.m.; followed by Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, Lowe's, and Walmart at 6 a.m.; and T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods, Petco, and PetSmart at 7 a.m. Costco opens at 9 a.m., according to USA Today."
"Isn't there a Black Friday boycott? Yes, there are two boycotts: " Mass Blackout" and " We Ain't Buying It." The first boycott protests billionaires and the Trump administration's policies, and urges you not to participate in this year's extended Black Friday sales, already underway, that run through Tuesday, December 2. The "We Ain't Buying It" boycott urges consumers not to buy anything from three companies: Target (for its rollback on DEI), Home Depot (for working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which has been arresting, detaining, and deporting immigrants),"
Black Friday continues to draw both in-store and online shoppers, with many consumers preferring online deals that begin early and run through Cyber Monday, December 1. Kohl's and JCPenney open at 5 a.m.; Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, Lowe's, and Walmart open at 6 a.m.; T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods, Petco, and PetSmart open at 7 a.m.; and Costco opens at 9 a.m. REI remains closed on Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Most banks remain open with variable hours. The NYSE and Nasdaq operate a half trading day, closing at 1 p.m. ET. Two boycotts urge shoppers to avoid certain purchases or companies.
