This year, Walmart will host its earliest Black Friday yet and open its doors at 8 p.m. on November 22.
Duncan Mac Naughton assures shoppers, "We bought deep, very deep, and we bought deep on the items that matter to our customers."
He adds, "We got customer feedback that says 'I like to shop earlier so I can go to bed earlier.'"
