Retailers Adjust Hours for Black Friday, Thanksgiving

As Black Friday approaches, many stores have adapted their holiday shopping strategies, with some opening on Thanksgiving Day and others offering extended hours on Black Friday. Most major retailers will remain closed on Thanksgiving, continuing a trend that began in 2019, but exceptions include Cabela’s and Bass Pro Shops, which will operate limited hours. Many malls across different states, such as Providence Place, Garden City Center, and Wrentham Village Premium Outlets, will open early for Black Friday, providing in-person shopping opportunities despite the rise of online deals. Stores like Best Buy, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Home Depot will open early on Black Friday, although hours may vary by location. Meanwhile, some grocery stores in New York will have limited hours on Thanksgiving. These changes reflect retailers' agility in dealing with post-pandemic inventory management and online shopping trends.
