We’ve got the Belk ad bright and early this year: Oct. 31, compared to Nov. 2 in 2018. Belk is a department store, best known for its home goods and clothing. But for Black Friday, it expands into tech, smart-home gadgets, TVs, toys and other holiday-shopping staples.

This year, Belk is opening on Thanksgiving (as it has for the past several years) at 4 p.m. and staying up until 1 a.m. Stores re-open at 6 a.m. on Black Friday and stay open until 10 p.m.

Just for walking in the door at opening time, you’ll get a Belk gift card (between $5 and $500, with one lucky $500 winner on each day of the sale -- Thursday and Friday). If you spend $75 during the Black Friday sale, you’ll receive $15 Belk Bucks.
