Customers who are hungry for Black Friday purchases may want to hit the stores before partying at Pumpkin Pie.
Once again, major retailers, including Target, Best Buy, JC Penney, Macy & # 39; s and Kohl, are flashing the early shopping spirit. Store Black Friday specials on Thanksgiving Day.
According to tradition, other popular retailers such as Apple, Wholesale Costco and Sam's Club, home improvement stores, office supply chains Office Depot and Staples remain closed during the holidays and will begin dangling campaigns on Black Friday.
Thanksgiving Day's open door policy is driven by shopping trends. More than half of customers – 58% – say they plan to shop on Thanksgiving, up from 45% last year, according to a survey by independent marketing information firm MiQ's Holiday Shopping Report of 2019.

For many years Black Friday marked the official kick-off of the holiday shopping season and the time of year when shoppers focus on holiday spending.
That speed of spending gave Black Friday its name, as at that time of year when retailers were "in the black." For nearly a decade, the official kickoff has crept ever closer to Thanksgiving, and eaten at times people used to spend around the holiday table. In 2012, most major retailers were open on the fourth Thursday in November.
The shift has been accompanied by controversy. Despite public outcry and customer threats of boycotts, stores still turn on the lights and flashing deals. Opening hours have crept past, but they haven't changed much this year. As last year, J.C. Penney at 14.00. Thanksgiving with Kohl's, Macy's, Target and Best Buy all opening at 5 am
Due to state laws, stores in Maine, Massachusetts and Rhode Island will remain closed Thanksgiving. Store hours and openings can also be influenced by county or municipal laws.
