Best Buy Releases Black Friday Plans, Announces It'll Be Closed On Thanksgiving

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Best Buy released its Black Friday plans on Thursday, and the Minnesota-based electronics retailer says it won't be open for Thanksgiving this year.

However, brick-and-mortar stores will open at 5 a.m. on Black Friday.

The company says it's taking precautions to reduce the spread of COVID-19 during the holiday shopping season, such as requiring everyone in stores to wear masks and limiting the number of people inside. Restrictions will also vary depending on local guidelines.
