These are Target’s Black Friday hours: what time does the store open and close?

Target will be an important stop on Black Friday for many shoppers looking to get started on their Christmas shopping. In a Gallup poll on holiday shopping, households reported earlier this month that they plan to spend around $1,012 on this season, while last year the figure stood at $975.

Target will extend store hours through the holidays

The national retailer has already begun to advertise many of the deals they will offer customers over Black Friday, and those looking to get there before sunrise should know that “most stores will open at 6 AM local time,” according to a press release put out by the company on November 21.

Between November 30 and December 23, Target will be open until midnight in most cities to provide shoppers with more time to check all their gifts and holiday desires off their lists.

Will Target be open on Thanksgiving?

The store has decided to close all locations and give employees the day off. In the past, particularly before the pandemic, many major retailers such as Target and Walmart opened on Thanksgiving evening to give Black Friday shoppers an early start. However, as online commerce has grown increasingly prevalent, the strategy of offering more in-person options may have become less effective. Now, these same companies highlight giving their workers the day off as a point of pride. Yet, this gesture often feels less like a celebration and more like a minimal acknowledgment of workers’ rights.
