Black Friday 2020 – Walmart and Lowe’s reveal their best early deals as they unveil holiday shopping season plans
IT’S the most wonderful time of the years for shoppers saving their chips for Black Friday as Lowe’s and Walmart unveil their holiday shopping season plans.
This year’s Black Friday will be unlike any shoppers have ever experienced in the past due to the coronavirus pandemic – as Lowe’s has switched their holiday deals to online only.
“We’ve seen a focus on home like never before,” said Marisa Thalberg, Lowe’s executive vice president, chief brand and marketing officer.
Thalberg also noted that deals will be available for curbside pickup, in-store pickup and delivery.
Walmart on the other hand will continue their in-store shopping – announcing their Black Friday deals will begin Nov. 4 and last through Nov. 27.
Just like Lowe’s and Walmart other companies such as Home Depot, Target and Best Buy are planning to have longer sales with more savings online to reduce crowds and spread out demand amid Covid-19.
"When it comes to going into the physical stores, we are not going to create a situation where there is a time sensitivity that would create crowd situations,” Thalberg said.
“That is irresponsible in our current environment.”
