On the day after Thanksgiving, Wal-Mart stores offer discounts and special savings offers on a variety of items. Walmart Black Friday 2010 items were announced on November 21, 2010, and included savings on home electronics like televisions and computers as well as reduced pricing on movies, toys, items for the home and other gift items. In addition to the savings that Walmart offered to customers in their stores, Walmart.com also provides exclusive savings to mark the start of the holiday shopping season.http://www.blackfriday.info/news/#1678

In some 24 hour stores, sales will begin at 12 a.m. Black Friday morning. These include select toys, video games, clothing and home goods items. Electronics sales will not begin until 5 a.m. Friday morning.http://www.walmart.com/cp/black-friday-deals/1076614?adid=77777777914700000065&wmlspartner=PSBlackFriday Customers can also find a map of their store by visiting Walmart.com and selecting a specific Walmart location. This will tell them where the items will be located so they can plan their shopping trip and be prepared. Walmart stores that are usually open 24 hours will remain open. Customers are permitted to line up near the item they are interested in but will be unable to purchase it until the sale begins. This decision was made after the 2008 incident in which a Walmart employee died after being trampled by the crowd as they rushed through the doors. http://money.cnn.com/2009/11/11/news/companies/Walmart_Thanksgiving_Black_Friday/index.htm
