Black Friday sales: When Walmart, Target, Best Buy and others open their doors Friday amid COVID-19

In a holiday season unlike any other, this is not the year for Black Friday campouts.

There’s practically no Thanksgiving Day in-store shopping as the nation’s largest retailers opted to move more doorbusters online to reduce crowds and spread out the season amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Many online Black Friday sales are already underway and more will start before the turkey is thawed.

But are shoppers planning to head to stores with their face masks?

According to a survey of 1,000 consumers by Suzy, a real-time market research platform, 36% of Americans said they plan to shop in-person on Black Friday.

The survey found online shopping is expected to be more popular with 59% of those surveyed planning to shop online on Black Friday vs. in-store visits.

“Our research shows that Black Friday shopping will continue to be a tradition for U.S. consumers even in spite of the pandemic,” Avi Savar, Suzy president, said in a statement to USA TODAY.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention classified “shopping at crowded stores just before, on or after Thanksgiving” on a list of higher-risk activities to avoid and in guidance issued ahead of the fall holidays also suggested more online shopping.
