Can you believe Black Friday 2019 is only 2 weeks away? The deals can be quite fantastic. However you have to know where to go and that means it’s time to start putting together your game plan. While I adore the convenience of online shopping, I love saving money when I can too. And when I really want to snag crazy deals, that means braving the crowds for the in store-only Black Friday doorbusters. When making your plan, it’s vital to know the answer to questions like:
“When does Black Friday 2019 start at different stores?”
If you are one of the Thanksgiving shoppers, it’s absolutely essential to know whether the stores near you that will be open on Thanksgiving day. While big box retailers like Target, Walmart, and Best Buy usually open their doors on Turkey Day, many other stores go old school and stay closed until Black Friday itself.

To help you make your Black Friday 2019 plan, check out this comprehensive list of projected and confirmed store hours from DealNews.com. Times for stores that haven’t been confirmed yet are based on Black Friday store hours from 2018.
No you don’t have to shop on Thanksgiving. However, there are specific deals to be had that will only be available on Thanksgiving Day. When making your plan, know that hours may vary by retail location. Individually-owned stores may choose to make their own plan too.
Do you have to shop on Thanksgiving?
Nope. Some stores agree to keep their Friday deals to Friday only so you can get your turkey on in peace. However, if you want to get a jump on things, more power to you!
Some stores that remain open overnight into Black Friday are not specific about what time they will close. In those cases, for the purposes of your plan, those stores in the chart are labeled as simply open on Black Friday. You know this already, but if you want to a no-fool plan, call the stores you want to visit directly.
