Black Friday: Major retailers in Alamance County participating in Black Friday

Many major retailers have already kicked off their sales, but some have new discounts debuting on Thanksgiving Day or Black Friday. We've rounded up the deals available at five major retailers in Alamance County as well as what time stores open on Friday, Nov. 26.
Check out our list below to plan your holiday shopping:

In recent years, Walmart has opted for a Deals for Days campaign rather than a singular Black Friday shopping event. In the Deals for Days model, Walmart started unveiling deep discounts on sought-after products on Monday at 7 p.m. Walmart+ members got early access at 3 p.m.
The store is one of many major retailers that announced they would remain closed on Thanksgiving Day to give employees a much-needed break.
Among the best deals advertised are Xbox Series S and X consoles for $299 and $499 respectively, a PlayStation 5 console for $499, a Nintendo Switch with Mario Cart 8 Deluxe for $299, a 70-inch 4K Smart TV with Roku for $398, an Apple Watch Series 3 for $109, an air fryer for $69, an iRobot vacuum for $349, a projector with 100-inch screen for $49 and much more.
