Black Friday shopping will be different this year due to COVID-19, but many retailers are ready for the holiday sales season!

Many, like Walmart, will be offering deals online and in stores during events in November to help cut back on Black Friday crowds, and reduce the spread of the virus.

Retailers are offering contactless curbside pickup, so you won't even have to go into the store! Depending on demand, you may have to sign up and wait for a pickup time.

Check your local retailers before heading out as sales and times are subject to change, and follow COVID-19 guidelines.

During these in-store Black Friday events, the retailer will limit the number of customers into the store to help reduce congestion and promote social distancing.

Customers will be directed to shop down the right-hand side of the aisles to easily and safely select the Black Friday items they want to buy.
