Planning to hit the Black Friday sales in Lodi? Here's what you need to know

Posted: Thursday, November 22, 2012 12:00 am | Updated: 10:25 am, Thu Nov 22, 2012.

Check the ads. Make your list. Ready the team. Black Friday is coming more quickly than ever, with many stores starting their sales on Thursday night. Eager shoppers looking to score a great deal may leave the Thanksgiving table for a quick nap before heading to the stores.

Not everyone is pleased with the trend of starting sales on Thanksgiving Day. More than 60 petitions on www.change.org hope to persuade stores like Target and Walmart to keep doors closed, at least until the dinner dishes are washed. Some have hundreds of thousands of signatures, but no retailers have announced a change in sale schedules due to the petitions.
