Black Friday 2012 Business Hours in Buffalo

Even though the weather may be cold, herds of people stay outside waiting in lines for the hottest shopping day of the year to get the best deals and kickstart their holiday shopping.

Black Friday 2012 begins sharply at midnight on November 23. Here is some information about business hours on Black Friday at local malls and department stores:

McKinley Mall: Will be open at 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving and will not close until 10 p.m. the following day.
