Best Los Angeles Businesses To Shop On Black Friday
Marking the first official day of holiday shopping, Black Friday is a mad dash full of shopper incentives, discounts and buy-one-get-ones (aka BOGOs). With stores and malls open as early as midnight, and some open on Thanksgiving evening, when you're planning for the big day, consider where you are going to get your best deal and where you can make the most of surrounding stores. We've put together a list of some local spots featuring great Black Friday L.A. shopping for things like toys, tech gear, clothing, stocking stuffers and more.
