retailer is lowering the prices on popular toys, electronics and more to
match or beat select Black Friday offers from top national competitors
one week early. Walmart’s Pre-Black Friday Event begins Friday, Nov. 21
at 8:00 a.m. and also gives customers an early taste of Walmart’s Black
Friday prices by moving up items typically found on Black Friday.
“The retail environment is incredibly competitive and we know that our
customers are looking to us for the lowest prices and great deals all
season long,” said Duncan Mac Naughton, chief merchandising officer,
Walmart U.S. “That’s why we’ve more than doubled the amount of items
included in our Pre-Black Friday Event. Combined with our Black Friday
weekend, there is absolutely no other place to shop this holiday season.”
Walmart’s Pre-Black Friday Event will kick off on Nov. 21 and run
