black friday

A slew of holiday events are coming to a popular Chicago-area mall, starting with a Christmas tree lighting and an appearance by Santa Claus himself this weekend.

The biggest shopping day of 2024 is nearly here, with Chicago-area malls expecting large crowds and increased traffic around the unofficial holiday.

Black Friday is almost here! Here are the deals being offered by major retailers to help you save on your holiday shopping. Plus, everything you need to know about what stores will be open on Black Friday and whether it’s worth shopping in-person on Friday or from your couch on Cyber Monday.

Retailers try to tempt shoppers with Black Friday discounts. But these offers are not necessarily the best prices of the year, according to experts.

Black Friday, arguably America’s favorite day to hit the malls and stores for holiday shopping deals, is coming up for 2024, but this year, it may seem later than usual.

Black Friday in the Chicago area felt a bit like the early 1990s, with long lines already forming outside area malls.
