Black Friday shoppers are already planning their go-to destinations and that means knowing which stores are open and when.

Bundles of deals will hit stores nationwide this Black Friday, 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.

That means shoppers will have to wait until after the holiday to score their in-person deals.
