What Time Do Stores Open on Black Thursday?

By LORRAINE SWANSON (Patch Staff)

Need a holiday frock? Some paper for your printer? Or maybe you’re fresh out of ammo or survival gear? If you want to buy a flat screen TV or pretzels for a buck, these stores will be open on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 26, for Black Thursday shoppers.

Or boycott Black Thursday altogether so employees can spend the holiday with their families and friends next year. That’s cool, too.
