The time is almost near for shoppers to take advantage of Black Friday, which has seemed to start earlier and earlier with each passing year. However, there have been a handful of retailers who are known to offer pre-midnight deals in order to open up late on Thanksgiving evening. Case in point is Walmart, who announced on Thursday that it would be launching their Black Friday deals at 8 p.m. on the respective holiday, the earliest the store has ever opened their doors for the event.
