BLACK FRIDAY
Black Friday 2021: When do stores open and when will the deals end?
To account for supply chain limitations, many major retailers have extended Black Friday sales to deal with product shortages. How long will the deals last?
Much of the news has been focused on the supply chain issues that are leading to major shortages across industries globally. To account for these logistical challenges, many retailers have extended the "Black Friday sale" period to allow more time for products to arrive.
While in the past, many major retailers had opened their stores during the evening on Thanksgiving for Black Friday. However, after the pandemic limited a company's ability to open at full capacity last year, many decided not to open until Friday morning. This year, many have decided to continue remaining closed to give the majority of employees time to spend with their friends and family.
