Black Friday is just around the corner, which means bundles of deals will hit stores nationwide. But the unofficial shopping holiday will look a little different this time around.
While most retailers used to open their storefronts on Thanksgiving, they recently moved to operating solely on Black Friday to let employees enjoy time off and prevent overcrowding in light of the pandemic. So, as soon as Friday rolls around, shoppers will be able to get their hands on a series of specials and discounts.
Here's a list of upcoming hours for stores and malls in the Chicago area:
