The holiday shopping season goes into overdrive the day after Thanksgiving.
Those Black Friday sales mean extended hours at Minnesota malls and small businesses throughout the state.
As ever, it's always worthwhile to shop at locally-owned stores — particularly over a weekend dominated by big box stores — but there are too many to list here, so check with your local shop.
However, if you're heading to the mall, here's when Minnesota malls will be open for Black Friday 2025. (And note that individual stores within malls can have hours that vary from the broader mall hours.)
