Black Friday has grown rather outdated in the age of online shopping. Although the Christmas shopping season officially begins the day after Thanksgiving, stores have been bombarding their websites and customers’ email inboxes with early Black Friday deals for weeks.
The finest deals are still available over the four days known in the retail industry as Black Friday through Cyber Monday, or BFCM for short, if history is any indication and advertisements are to be trusted. This could be particularly true for expensive goods, seasonal merchandise, and the newest, most fashionable items.
However, consumer advocates point out that big reductions aren’t just available once a year. To ensure they are getting what they truly want at a fair price, they advise consumers to compare prices, look up past prices, and read the fine print.
Nevertheless, some people like to get out from behind a phone or computer screen to enjoy the music and festive ambiance at a nearby mall or shopping center. To entice customers in, retailers are offering exclusives and in-store experiences. As retailers try to get the holiday shopping season going, several stores that were closed on Thanksgiving reopen early on Friday.
These are some well-known national chains’ and Portland-area stores’ Black Friday store hours.
