Three weeks ahead of Thanksgiving, the first major Black Friday ad of 2018 has landed.

Kohl's released its big holiday sale ad early Thursday on its website.

According to the 64-page circular posted on Kohls.com, stores will open 5 p.m. Thanksgiving Day, the same time as last year. In 2016, the department store opened at 6 p.m.

“The holiday season is the time when Kohl’s really shines and stands out as the holiday destination for shoppers, and we believe we are well-positioned for the season,” said Michelle Gass, Kohl’s chief executive officer in a statement.

The retailer also launched a one-day sale Thursday with select deals in-store and online. Save an extra 20 percent Thursday during the pre-sale with promo code GOSAVE20, which is valid through Tuesday. The coupon also is available as a printable pass and in the Kohl's app.

The holiday sale will officially start at 12:01 a.m. Nov. 19 central time online and in-store 5 p.m. Nov. 22. Some limited doorbusters will be available starting 12:01 a.m. CT Thanksgiving Day online ahead of the in-store sale.
