What stores are open on Black Friday 2023? See hours for Walmart, Target, Macy's, more

Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, is widely considered the best shopping day of the year for consumers.

While the name "Black Friday" has not always been synonymous with generous discounts and hoards of shoppers, it is now a day people mark on their calendars before purchasing clothes, electronics, holiday gifts and more.

While many incorrect theories suggest the name "Black Friday" is derived from stores earning profit from holiday sales, or "going into the black," the name actually dates back to the 1950s.

Philadelphia police used the term to describe the chaos that often took place in the city on the day after Thanksgiving, where many people from the suburbs would go into the city to do their holiday shopping, according to Britannica. By 1961, the name "Black Friday" had stuck in Philadelphia and became popular nationally in the late 1980s.

While the holiday has undergone transitions over the years (from in-person shopping chaos to the rise of e-commerce), brick-and-mortar stores still see plenty of foot traffic on an annual basis.

Here's what you need to know about which stores are open, and what their hours are.
