Thanksgiving, Black Friday PG County Mall Hours: Where to Shop

By Beth Dalbey and Deb Belt

Black Friday is still a thing, but it’s not the big thing it’s been in past years.

Among the stores foregoing Thanksgiving hours are Apple, At Home, Barnes & Noble, Cabela’s, Burlington Coat Factory, Costco, Crate and Barrel, DSW, GameStop, Home Goods, Jo-Ann Fabrics, Nordstrom, Pier 1 Imports, Pottery Barn, Staples, and T.J. Maxx.

Many national chains are open for Thanksgiving hours, including Walgreen’s and Meijer, which will be open all day, and JCPenney, which opens at 3 p.m. Some others are Target, Best Buy, Toys R Us, Kohl’s, Sears, Macy’s, Kmart, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Office Depot, Gordman’s and Sports Authority

REI is eschewing Black Friday sales, as well as Thanksgiving hours. The chain has stores in Rockville, College Park and Columbia.

Black Friday has traditionally been one of the 5.5 million member consumer cooperative’s 10 busiest days and the chain will no doubt take a fourth-quarter sales hit, but “we think that Black Friday has gotten out of hand,” CEO Jerry Stritzke told CNN Money last month.

Thanksgiving and Black Friday hours at some Prince George’s County malls are:

• Beltway Plaza – Greenbelt: Closed on Thanksgiving; open 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Black Friday.
• Bowie Town Center: Open 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Thanksgiving; open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Black Friday.
• Towne Centre Laurel: No holiday hours posted online; normal hours are Mon-Sat: 10am-9pm and Sunday noon-6pm; store hours may vary.
• The Mall at Prince Georges – Hyattsville: Open 6 p.m. to midnight on Thanksgiving; open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Black Friday.
