Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (NYSE:WMT) has announced its Thanksgiving hours for 2016.
The retail giant announced a slate of deals on this year’s upcoming Black Friday sale, along with the hours in which it will be open this Thanksgiving. Turkey Day seems to be pushed more and more into the background as a larger number of stores deem it OK to open up its doors on the most important holiday in the U.S.
Starting early in the day — at 12:01 a.m. — on Thanksgiving morning, Black Friday deals will be available on Walmart.com. Stores will be available throughout the day, but the deals won’t be in effect until 6:00 p.m. local time on Thanksgiving Day.
“I said it before and I will say it again, we will win the season on price – on Black Friday, on Cyber Monday and every day before and after,” said Steve Bratspies, chief merchandising officer, Walmart U.S.
Specifying what he meant by that, Bratspies said that the company is known for its deals in stores, online and on its app. The availability of more items and the low prices that come along with them are two of the moves that will ensure the company performs well this year.
