The shopping event of the season, Black Friday, is nearly upon us, but have you figured out what time your destination stores are opening their doors? That is, if you haven’t already shopped ‘til you dropped on Thursday.

More stores than ever chose to open their doors on Thanksgiving Day this year, blurring the lines between Turkey Day and Black Friday. But not all retailers are keeping up with Walmart, Target and Kmart this year and forcing you to choose between your pumpkin pie dessert and shopping. Some stores have chosen to forgo opening on the holiday and to stick with their Friday traditions.

“Over the years we’ve heard a lot from our customers, and they appreciate that we take this approach,” Nordstrom spokesman Colin Johnson said of the Seattle-based retailer’s decision to remain closed for Thanksgiving. Other stores like Costco are doing likewise, even though a six-day shorter holiday shopping season has made the competition steeper than ever.

But according to Dealnews.com, waiting until Friday to open would not harm retailers much since only about 38 percent of shoppers will go out on Thanksgiving instead of waiting until Black Friday.

Which stores are holding out their opening times for midnight and later on Black Friday? Here is a complete list of store hours for Black Friday, in alphabetical order. We’ve also included stores that will open on Thanksgiving Day, marked with an asterisk (*) with exact hours indicated below in parenthesis and italics.
