Black Friday 2016 and Thanksgiving 2016 Sale: Store hours, schedules of Macy's, JC Penny's, Best Buy and other outlets

Not only is Black Friday here. The holiday celebration will officially commence. With Thanksgiving on, a lot of promotions and offerings are in the air.

While everyone is excited about the prospects of getting a big haul at half the price in stores, there are a couple of things which people need to consider.

Primarily, it must be noted that not all retailers are on the same page. This means that store opening and closing hours vary. This also means that not all shopping centers share the total buying spree experience considering that there are also retail outlets that won't even open around this time.

Back in 2013, Macy's decision to open shop at 8pm has been outrageous. To many shoppers, it robbed them of enough time to look around. Perhaps the real reason behind this can be attributed to the fact that the retailer simply perceived that most will be enjoying the festivities at home with their families.

Still, Macy's has been scrutinized to be the cause of the lack of draw during the most important celebration around this time of the year. The truth, however, is the company has been monitoring customer interest all along. It is likely that their survey suggests that people may want to be somewhere else instead of heading to the malls. Even if individuals go to the stores, it can only mean that they are dropping by to get something within a limited time.

Secondly, shoppers need to know the details before going out. It is a given that not all customers know what to buy but the moment they see those catalogues or shopping guides, all those brilliant ideas unravel. It is essential that, in addition to the items on the list, store schedules must also be considered.

Here are the confirmed store hours for shops joining the Thanksgiving and Black Friday festivities:
