"Black Friday" may be a thing of the past.
That's because retailers are duking it out over who is the first store to open for the big annual holiday sales.
What used to be a day-after-Thanksgiving ritual, is now inching closer and closer to the Thursday night turkey dinner.
As it stands now, Toys R Us and Wal-Mart will be the first large retail chains to open their doors for bargain hunters at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 22. That's even earlier than last year, when the toy store opened at 9 p.m. and Wal-Mart at 10 p.m. Target will open at 9 p.m. compared to midnight last year. While Macy's hasn't officially announced an opening time this year, the department store usually opens at midnight.
The early store openings might be an attraction to people who want to get a head start on their holiday shopping.
