Black Friday 2016: Toys R Us Gameplan Announced And Updated Hours For Numerous Stores
Black Friday 2016 is a lot closer than anyone may realize, and it is going to be upon us all before they even realize it. The biggest shopping day of the year will have many deals and bargains and stores open for your purchasing convenience. As the days go on, more info is coming out, including numerous ads and circulars to show all the big sales. Toys R Us has now revealed its Black Friday gameplan, and there is also a big update on the hours for numerous stores.
Some of the bigger stores have not yet revealed their Black Friday 2016 ads, and shoppers are still waiting for Walmart, Target, and others. As they wait, Toys R Us has decided to at least issue a press release detailing their plans for the upcoming holiday, and it includes their store hours.
Shoppers heading to Toys R Us for Black Friday will be able to enjoy “30 hours of straight shopping” if they so choose. Stores will open at 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day (November 24, 2016) and will not close until 11 p.m. on Black Friday (November 25, 2016).
That’s a lot of shopping, and the giant toy retailer is looking to make things as convenient for their shoppers as possible. At the front of every location, a G.P.S. (Gurus for Play Stuff) will be standing and assisting shoppers to find certain items. The G.P.S. assistants will be in place for every Saturday and Sunday in November, and then starting on November 25, Fridays as well.
Extra store maps, longer hours, and more customer service will be there to make Toys R Us shopping experiences as hassle-free as possible for Black Friday this year.
Now, many other stores are releasing more information about their store hours and deals that are coming out. One of the biggest things, aside from the bargains, is what hours will a store be open and it’s time to check out the most updated numbers.
A lot of stores have not yet revealed their store hours for Thanksgiving Day or Black Friday 2016, but they will soon. The Black Friday put together a great list of those that have given forth that information so let’s see when some of the bigger retailers will have their doors open.

Getting organized and having a plan in place for Black Friday shopping is really one of the best things anyone can do. Heading out into the throngs of people and hordes of traffic without knowing where you’re going or what you’re chasing is not an ideal situation.
When it comes to the holidays, shopping is a big part of it and there is no getting around that. Many feel that Black Friday 2016 hours and tactics should change, but as long as millions will head out to the stores, things will remain the same. Toys R Us is living proof of that, and it shows in their recently revealed holiday shopping plans. If you’re going to head out for the bargains, get your ads ready and a plan in place so you can make the most of your time and money.
