Not everyone is waiting until Black Friday to launch the holiday shopping season.
At Bayshore Town Center, the official tree lighting is 6 p.m. Nov. 16 — but Kohl’s is even weeks ahead of that launch at the North Shore’s largest shopping destination.
The retailer’s Bayshore location started holiday hours on Sunday, Oct. 28. The store is open until 11 p.m. through Nov. 3 then gets started in earnest Nov. 7. Kohl’s is open 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Nov. 7-8, then 7 a.m. to midnight Nov. 9-10. More holiday hours are posted on the store’s front door through Nov. 17.
Bayshore holiday hours begin officially at 7 a.m. on Black Friday, Nov. 23. The mall remains open until 10 p.m. that day, and 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Nov. 24. From there, standard 10 a.m. open times continue until Dec. 15, when the mall opens at 8 a.m. six days a week through Christmas Eve. Closing time is never later than 10 p.m.
A representative at Barnes and Noble, which is not connected to the main building, said the mall’s extended hours will match the bookseller’s normal hours, and no information was available yet on longer shopping hours at the store.
