Black Friday is widely seen as the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season, when shoppers look for deep discounts the day after Thanksgiving.
Many retailers are now launching early deals online, although the biggest discounts still come between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, both in stores and online.
For those who enjoy getting out from behind a computer or phone screen to enjoy the holiday atmosphere and music at a local mall or shopping area, some retailers are offering exclusives to get you through the door. Several stores that were closed on Thanksgiving Day reopen early Friday as retailers work to ramp up the holiday shopping season.
