Here’s a list of stores in SLO County that will open for Black Friday shopping

After you’ve had your fill of turkey on Thursday, you and your family might want to burn off all those calories by getting a head start on Black Friday shopping.
Or maybe you disagree with shopping during a holiday that’s supposed to be about giving thanks and spending time with loved ones. Though about 22 percent of Americans say they hate Black Friday, about 76 percent said they plan to make at least one purchase, according to a survey conducted by bestblackfriday.com.
And despite anti-Black Friday campaigns like REI’s #OptOutside, which encourages people to spend time in nature instead of shopping, there are still plenty of stores that will be open on Thanksgiving and Black Friday, expecting to haul in a profit.
