An Easy and Jammin’ Experience

When the clock strikes 6 p.m. local time, associates and customers will kickoff the biggest shopping event of the season.

This year, Walmart is helping customers save time when they shop by introducing color-coded departments in stores. Key departments, like electronics, toys, home, apparel and hardlines will be color coded in the Black Friday event circular and on Walmart’s popular store maps, available on the Walmart app starting Nov. 14 and in stores on event night, making it visually easier for customers to navigate to the deals. Customers can look for balloons, signs and associates in the vest color they need for guidance and direction during the event.

In addition, Walmart’s Holiday Helpers will be on-hand to greet customers, distribute store maps and help shoppers find top products. Holiday Helpers will be easy to spot wearing reindeer hats and headbands.
