Therefore, World Market continues its tradition of opening its doors on Black Friday at 7:00 am and Saturday and Sunday at 8:00 am. “We feel very strongly that our employees should spend Thanksgiving relaxing at home. Even as other retailers began announcing their midnight Black Friday hours, we remained committed to our word to our employees and World Market will not open earlier than our previously announced 7:00 am opening,” says Barry Feld, CEO & Chairman, Cost Plus World Market.
