When will stores open on Black Friday? Mall and retailer hours in the Chicago area

Dedicated Black Friday shoppers are already in planning mode, thinking about where will be first up on their list.

While some might choose to shop from the comfort of their home nowadays, that’s certainly not the case for everyone. Many bargain hunters will be out in full force, traversing around shopping centers in search of deals and the perfect Christmas gifts.

While in some years, retailers would open their doors on Thanksgiving, that won’t be the case this time around. More recently, a majority have moved to solely open on Black Friday to give employees a well-deserved rest.
