(WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Walmart is getting a jump on the holiday season by offering Black Friday-style deals Friday rather than on the day after Thanksgiving.
WBBM's Rob Hart asked people if that's too early.
Walmart this week said it’s getting a jump on the holiday shopping deals – at stores and online -- because of the shorter time between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year.
Some people on Michigan Avenue said Halloween and Thanksgiving deserve their time in the sun. Others said they’re OK with Christmas getting more attention.
Some shoppers said this could allow them to finish their gift-buying early so they can enjoy the holiday season.
