Black Friday 2019 Sales, When Stores Open In Ashburn

Are you looking to score a deal this Black Friday, traditionally the biggest shopping day of the year in Ashburn and across the country? The consumer holiday on the day after Thanksgiving falls on Nov. 29 this year.

Many major retailers, such as Walmart, Target, Macy’s and Lowe’s have already released ads for their special Black Friday 2019 deals.

As you plan your shopping excursion, you’ll want to know when malls are open in the Ashburn area.

• Dulles Town Center: Open 6 p.m. to midnight Thanksgiving, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Black Friday.
• One Loudoun: Hours vary by store. Contact retailers to confirm hours.
• Leesburg Premium Outlets: Open 6 p.m. Thanksgiving through 10 p.m. Black Friday.
• Lansdowne Town Center: Hours vary by store. Contact retailers to confirm hours.

Holiday retail sales could top $1 trillion for the first time this year, according to eMarketer. That would represent a 3.8 percent increase over last year’s holiday shopping season from Nov. 1 through Dec. 31.

“Holiday spending growth will be driven by a consumer economy that remains robust, due to low unemployment, rising wages, a strong stock market and healthy consumer confidence," eMarketer principal analyst Andrew Lipsman told Business Insider. “At the same time, rising tariffs, trade war tensions, stock market volatility and dampening consumer sentiment all weigh on the season's growth potential. A shortened calendar between Thanksgiving and Christmas also presents a challenge.”

The computer software company Adobe projected that U.S. online sales during the holiday season will total $143.7 billion dollars. Out of that amount, 20 percent will be spent by consumers between Thanksgiving Day and Cyber Monday.

Black Friday shoppers hope to maximize their budget by getting the best possible deals, but there are other ways to spend intelligently.

“To avoid overspending during the holidays, have a realistic budget and a plan with a maximum cap that you share with a spending partner, do not be guilted by yourself or others into over spending,” Scott Swan, a professor of innovation and marketing at William & Mary, said in comments accompanying a WalletHub study on holiday spending.
