arci122 Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Brad, How about a listing (if there is not someone already) of when the various stores open. That way we can keep it straight on our path of shopping!
samisma Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 I have been keeping track the best that I can. As ads are posted I can update. I also am contacting stores of interest. Note that some stores will vary region to region and I highly recommend that you call to confirm with that store what their opening time will be on BF! Here are all the times that I've in my handy dandy notebook: THANKSGIVING DAYKmart - 7amMeijer - 6amOutlets in Las Vegas - 10amCompUSA - 9pm-Midnight Black Friday Stores – Confirmed MidnightPrime Outlets (IL, WI)VanHeusen Outlet Bass Outlet Jordan Creek Mall (IA)Prime Outlets (FL)Geoffrey Beane Outlet IZOD Outlet Wrenthen Outlets Tanger Outlets Lighthouse Place (Chelsea Outlets) Michigan City, IN North Georgia Premium Outlet Outlets at Anthem (az) Lancaster Pa Outlets Jackson Outlets (nj) The Crossings Outlets (tannersville, PA) Leesburg Outlets (DC area/VA) Prime Outlets in Smithfield, NC Albertville Premium Outlets (MN) VF Outlets Village (Reading, PA) RIO GRANDE VALLEY ValueCityAeropostale*Abercrombie & Fitch* 1:00 AMAltamonte Mall (Orlando, FL) Spring Hill Mall (WestDundee IL) 2:00 AM 3:00AM Disney Store* 4:00 AMJC PenneysKohl's Mervyn'sDillard's 5:00 AMCompUSAWal-MartSam's ClubCircuit CityBest BuyBeall'sToys R UsOld NavyMervyn'sPepBoysHome DepotSearsMeijer KBToys Ocean County Mall (NJ) Lake Square Mall (FL) Seminole Towne Center (FL) 6:00 AMMichael's Build-A-Bear*Office Depot Boscovs Linens & ThingsRadioShackKmartMacy'sBath & Body Works*StaplesTargetSports Chalet*Volusia Mall (FL) Tyrone Square Mall (FL)King of Prussia Mall (PA) Oxford Valley Mall(PA) Arrowhead Mall (AZ) Quaker Bridge Mall(PA) Deptford Mall(NJ) Montgomery Mall(PA) The Gallery(PA) Cherry Hill Mall(NJ) Neshaminy Mall(PA) Franklin Mills Mall(PA) Willow Grove(PA) Patrick Henry Mall (VA)Moorestown Mall (NJ)Hamilton Mall (NJ)Springfield Mall 7:00 AMBurlington Coat FactoryEB GamesGameStopAce HardwareOfficeMax Big LotsHarbor FreightWalgreens Arizona Mills (AZ) 8:00 AMGymboree*FYE *Children's Place*Marshall'sTJ MaxxHobby Lobby*The Gettysburg Village OutletsOutlets in Las Vegas 9:00 AM & LaterCostco - 9am Black Friday NOT confirmedPlay It Again Sports Dillards Christiana Mall (de) Cumberland Mall (nj) * stores with this notation apparently are going to vary in opening time from town to town to town.

Those in italics are SHOPPING CENTERS.
cassgurlie04 Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 well thank you for that i was wondering myself;)
DB_Cooper Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 3AM at the Disney Store should be interesting...
samisma Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 no prob. and if anyone runs across more opening times for any store of interest on BF please post up and i'll update the list. i'm still trying to find out: kb toys, barnes & noble, borders, burlington coat factory, dillards, boscov's, carters, osh kosh, carters, various outlet stores/centers, etc etc if you have any specific store requests post it up now. i'm going to start calling my personal contacts as well as stores tomorrow.
samisma Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 3AM at the Disney Store should be interesting... tell me about it. i hope that is a misunderstanding on the sales girl's part. i'll find out for sure tomorrow i hope. on the other side.. it'd be nice to get them out of the way and then run off to the other stores considering the driving distance.
cassgurlie04 Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 maybe im just not seeing it but JC PENNEY???
samisma Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 right under compusa. 4am - per a jcp employee at arrowhead mall (glendale az). i believe this is national, but it might be regional.
Melissa Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 maybe im just not seeing it but JC PENNEY???4:00 am
cassgurlie04 Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 LMAO thank you like i said i guess i just didnt see it but i see it now thanks again
samisma Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 no prob. later i'll organize this a bit more. i'm at work so i can't spend too much time on it at the moment.
DB_Cooper Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 This 3-4 AM stuff may have an impact on my plans.
Marcster Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Thanks samisma -- I appreciate the list you put together. I'll make this the official thread. http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Computers/prof15.gif
nchick80 Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 I know that Home Depot opens up @ 5 am on Friday
Marcster Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 did not see office depotHang on. Wait till we have the ad, then we'll all know. Last year they opened at 6am, but this year is anyone's guess.
samisma Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 did not see office depot this is harder for me to confirm as there isn't one in my area. still waiting to hear back on a few of my emails though!
samisma Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 ok, a few more stores are confirmed. talked to employees at locations. one thing i learned - Children's Place is apparently going to vary region to region as is Hot Topic. They will open at whatever time your local mall opens. CP manager told me that if there is a crowd waiting outside their store they will open early though. ok. now i'm going to go add Home Depot to the list. although i thought they opened earlier.
lesliepear Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 If your plans involve the Paramus, NJ stores/malls, they have a law that they can not open before 7AM! Just an FYI!
H_Hancock Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 If CompUSA is following what they've done the last two years, they open at midnight for an hour or two for a "special early sale", then close and reopen for the normal BF sale at 5AM. Last year the employees were just sooooo happy to be coming in at 11PM to have to stay until noon when the next shift of employees were going to relieve them. Made a long night/day for the first set.
arci122 Posted November 13, 2007 Author Posted November 13, 2007 Thank You for sharing your list. KB's opens at 5am Lowe's seems to be keeping theirs a secret.
samisma Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 I further separated the lists. Also added a list of malls and their opening times. At some point today I will be splitting it further down by opening time so that you can come up with a good plan of attack. :)
samisma Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 If your plans involve the Paramus, NJ stores/malls, they have a law that they can not open before 7AM! Just an FYI! that's just for paramus? i never heard of that. worked in the nj malls for almost 10 years (admittedly it was south jersey)
Heather_0617 Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 I just called the Disney Store near me in New Jersey and they said they open at 5am.
samisma Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 hmm. maybe it varies by region mall? i'll put an asterick next to that one. the malls i talked to were arrowhead, paradise valley (az for both) as well as deptford & cherry hill. i will call cherry hill & deptford again on my lunch break.
princess01 Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 The Gettysburg Village Outlets in Gettysburg, PA are open on BF from 8am to 9pm. They are currently going through a buy out/name change. I think it has changed to The Shoppes at Gettysburg or something along those lines. It's still coming up as the Gburg Village online. Oh, and they are closed on Thanksgiving.

I called Cherry Hill too, maybe the girl was wrong, but she sounded it certain. Hmmm - let us know.

Hmmm - let us know.I really want to call them now, but my calls get recorded here at work. I need to call Christiana Mall on my lunchbreak too. They'd be worth travelling to if you're in south jersey as they're tax-free.
cwife Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Tanger outlets in Myrtle beach sc opens at midnight:) They have the hours on their website:)
