The turkey has been carved, the leftovers are chilling, and now it’s time for the real feast: Black Friday deals.
As the Peach State’s shoppers flood malls like Lenox Square, Perimeter Mall, and Greenbriar Mall, major retailers are rolling out extended hours to accommodate the holiday rush.
What Are the Store Hours for Your Favorite Retailer?
Whether you’re hunting for tech gadgets at Best Buy or home essentials at The Home Depot, knowing when doors open (and close) can make or break your bargain-hunting strategy.
This year, expect crowds to swell early, with many stores kicking off as dawn breaks. Atlanta traffic on I-75 and I-85 will likely be a nightmare, so consider public transit via MARTA or carpooling to beat the jam.
And don’t forget: While in-store exclusives draw the die-hards, online deals are already live and often match brick-and-mortar prices through Cyber Monday.
To help you plan your attack, we’ve compiled hours for some of the most popular chains with locations across metro Atlanta.
Note that hours can vary slightly by store, so double-check your local branch via their apps or websites.

| Walmart | 6 a.m. – 11 p.m. |
| Dick’s Sporting Goods | 6 a.m. – 10 a.m. |

Electronics hunters should hit Best Buy right at opening for doorbusters on TVs and laptops, and fashion fans can score at Macy’s or Kohl’s before the good stuff vanishes.
Experts at the National Retail Federation remind shoppers to prioritize safety: Park in well-lit areas, shop with a buddy, and watch for pickpockets in the excitement.
With Small Business Saturday following on Nov. 29, consider supporting indie spots like those on the BeltLine for unique finds post-mall madness.
