Retail giants to promote midnight shopping

Date: 11-22-2007

Top retail brands are all geared to begin "doorbuster" promotions by keeping their outlets open all night during this holiday season. The reason: Black Friday is considered among the busiest shopping days of the year. Post-Thanksgiving period generates the maximum sales and is considered an important indicator of the nation's economic confidence, reports Associated Press.

Here are some of the major retail businesses' holiday schedules:

• The Gap Inc. will have 170 outlets nationwide open at midnight. Also, nearly 90% of the company's Old Navy franchises will open at 5 a.m. Friday (two hours earlier from last year).
• KB Toys Inc.'s 135 shops will be open at midnight. This accounts for 30% more stores than last year.
• J.C. Penney Co. stores and Mervyns will open at 4 a.m. Friday.
