The week of Thanksgiving marks the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season, with things ramping up on Black Friday. But when do Minnesota malls open this year?

While most are closed on Thanksgiving day, many have extended hours on Black Friday. 

We would also encourage you to check with local small businesses. There are too many to list here, but many will have special Black Friday hours and deals as well. 

Also keep in mind individual stores within malls can set their own hours, and may well be open while the wider mall is closed.
