Solomon Pond Mall to Open Early Black Friday

Black Friday will start during what some would consider the late Thanksgiving night rather than early Black Friday morning at Solomon Pond Mall this year.

Shoppers at the mall will be able to begin their shopping as early as 12:30 a.m.

The hours are a change from last year's 4 a.m. opening and will allow shoppers to pick all the perfect gifts until 10 p.m. at night, according to a release from the owners of the Mall. 

The mall will feature greeters to help guide shoppers, as well as "Rejuvination Stations" with comfortable couches, chairs and wireless internet. Photos for children and pets with Santa will also be available that day.

Fit wrapping stations benefitting local charities will also be available at the mall.

The Auburn and Greendale Malls will also open at 12:30 a.m. on Black Friday.
