These PA Stores Have Deepest Black Friday Discounts, Study Says

Black Friday sales have already been announced in Pennsylvania, and one study has identified the 33 stores that are offering the deepest discounts for the pre-holiday shopping bonanza.

The study from consumer analyst WalletHub surveyed nearly 10,000 deals from the biggest U.S. retailers’ 2017 Black Friday ad scans. The study listed the stores offering the largest advertised discounts in various product categories such as “Jewelry” and “Appliances.” The below list identifies the stores that have locations in Pennsylvania.

WalletHub's study says these retailers are offering even steeper price cuts or other discount promotions, both in store and online, just to stay ahead of their competitors. "That’s good news for shoppers, especially those who prefer to shop from home," according to the study.
