Walmart Black Friday 2016 Deals Include $298 55-Inch 4K TV

Walmart formally debuted its Black Friday plans, switching things up just a bit vs. last year.

The retailer will kick off its in-store Black Friday sales on Thanksgiving at 6 p.m. (The chain has opened on Thanksgiving for more than 30 years, and the bulk of its stores are typically open 24 hours.) Wristbands for certain doorbusters will once again be given out in an attempt to reduce frenzy, as will store maps. Unlike last year, however, sales will not be staggered in one-hour windows. Consumers who obtain a wristband will have two hours after the start of the sale to purchase the doorbuster.

Online holiday promos, meanwhile, will be available for purchase at 12:01 a.m. on Thanksgiving. Consumers will need to download the Walmart app to get a peek at the sales, details of which went live today.

Chief merchandising officer Steve Bratspies said during a conference call on Wednesday that maintaining strong levels of inventory, both in stores and online, will be a key initiative for the retailer this holiday season. The retailer will increase its online Black Friday merchandise by 50 percent this year.
