Shopko announces that its stores will be open for extended hours beginning Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov. 27 through Friday, Nov. 28. Special store hours and pricing will be available at the retailer’s Shopko and Shopko Hometown stores and on Shopko.com.

A Shopko store is located in Syracuse.

Shopko stores will be open from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day for shoppers wanting to beat the rush or pick up their last minute needs for their Thanksgiving feast. The stores will re-open for Black Friday at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving night and remain open until 11 p.m. Friday, Nov. 28.

Over 850 items will be featured at Shopko store locations at door buster prices when doors open at 6 p.m. Thursday through noon on Friday, while supplies last.

Shopko.com will offer exclusive pre-black Friday specials every Friday until Black Friday starting Nov. 7. These deals will feature great gift items at Black Friday-esque pricing for one day only, and while quantities last.

Starting on Wednesday, Nov. 26, early access to a special allocation of Black Friday door busters will be available on-line and will run through Friday, Nov. 28 or until quantities run out.
