Despite closing a large number of stores in recent months and with more closings planned, Sears and Kmart are still holding Black Friday sales.
The two retailers released their Black Friday ads Monday, each noticeably smaller than past years with fewer doorbusters. The sales are not expected to take place at closing stores, which are typically excluded from weekly sales.
Both retailers will start their in-store sales Thanksgiving except where prohibited by state and local laws. Doorbusters will be available in stores during open hours, as well as online all day on Thanksgiving and Black Friday.
Kmart stores will be open from 6 a.m. to midnight Thanksgiving and reopen 6 a.m. Black Friday.
Sears stores open at 6 p.m. Thanksgiving and close at midnight, then reopen at 5 a.m. Black Friday.
