It appears Black Friday will be coming before some families can even finish their turkey dinner. Heavy-hitting popular retail stores are reportedly opening their doors for Black Friday deals on Thanksgiving Nov. 27, which is earlier than ever.

Macy's, who was the first company to announce its Black Friday opening, will begin at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day. That's a whole day plus two hours earlier than last year.

It seems Macy's has taken into consideration the chaos that ensues on Black Friday, as employees reportedly aren't required to work during Macy's Black Friday deal hours and all shifts are voluntary.

Wal-Mart will also be beginning their door-buster Black Friday deals at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving. Although Wal-Mart hasn't officially announced their opening, this news comes from a report by The Black Friday media site.

Also jumping on the 6 p.m. Thanksgiving Black Friday bandwagon is Best Buy. Best Buy usually holds the best deals on all types of electronics. Last year they had a 40" HDTV for only $169.

K-Mart is looking to make their mark in the competition and will be opening their doors at 8 a.m. on Thanksgiving, which is earlier than any other company so far.

Although any information about the opening time for Target has yet to be announced, it's safe to assume they'll likely follow suit and open their doors on Thanksgiving Day as well. 

Any shoppers already anticipating any Black Friday deals and door-buster prices for these retail stores will have to endure the wait a little longer. However for anyone interested, Harbor Freight is the first company to already release their deals to the public.
