Black Friday Hours: Here’s A List Of When Retailers Will Be Open

This year, as has often been the case, retailers are all over the map when it comes to kicking off deals — some start Thursday afternoon, some Friday morning. J.C. Penney, for example, will open its doors as early as 2 p.m. on Turkey Day, while big-box retailer Wal-Mart will keep the lights on for 24 hours straight but doesn’t start doling out discounts until 6 p.m. Thursday.
