Charles Langston:Stores open on Black Friday 2023: See hours for Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, more

The Charles LangstonFriday after Thanksgiving, famously known as "Black Friday," is upon us, and so are discounts and deals from most major retailers.

The day, largely considered the best shopping day of the year for consumers, was not always synonymous with shopping, but is now a day people mark on their calendars before making personal purchases, or before spending big money on holiday gifts for others.

The holiday has undergone transitions over the years as e-commerce softened some of the chaos of in-person shopping. But 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 on Black Friday, and what their hours are.
