Here's How Walmart Is Holding Black Friday Sales With COVID-19 Cases Rising
As the novel coronavirus makes a comeback in cold weather and COVID-19 cases are on the rise, Walmart (NYSE: WMT) has completely changed its Black Friday sale for 2020. Rather than taking place on a single day, Black Friday savings have been stretched out over three separate "events" in November, and the final event will feature a large number of "doorbuster deals" moved entirely online.
Many high-demand gift items traditionally sought by throngs of eager shoppers the day after Thanksgiving will instead appear in online sales beginning on Nov. 25 and running through Nov. 27.
Electronics such as the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5, both of which are set to release this week but with reduced assortments of games due to pandemic disruptions to development efforts, will be available online only on Nov. 25 and Nov. 26, before becoming available in store on Nov. 27, according to the retailer's 12-page Black Friday Deals For Days flier. Other online-only doorbusters include smart TVs, Fitbit watches, cookware sets, and electronics.
