Black Friday seems to be on its way to swallowing Thanksgiving Day. Whether you welcome the earlier shopping hours or will be staying home, I want to share the information about the stores’ hours. I got this list from Coupon Sherpa, where you can find a big list of 46 stores’ Black Friday hours. Some stores will also be giving goody bags and other treats to intrepid shoppers.

Here are the Black Friday hours for some major store chains:

Bass Pro Shops: 5 a.m. Friday. Score the best deals between 5 and 11 a.m.
Best Buy: Midnight Friday. Doorbuster tickets will be handed out two hours before Best Buy’s midnight opening.
Bealls: Midnight Friday. The first 100 shoppers will receive a scratch ticket for 16GB Wifi Tablet, $100 gift card or $5 in Beall Bucks.
Cabela’s: 5 a.m. Friday. The first 600 in line will be eligible for such free gifts as a Browning rifle, electric smoker or store gift card.
Gordman’s: 5 a.m. Friday. The first 300 shoppers can take 25% off everything they can fit into a special shopping bag.
