This year, Meijer started celebrating Black Friday all week long.

With Thanksgiving next week and Christmas almost a month away, some local businesses are looking to hire additional staff members for the holiday season.

Turkey or television? Pumpkin pie or PlayStation? While Black Friday sales kick off online before the turkey defrosts, for legions of shoppers, the holiday shopping season starts in stores Thursday.

The holiday season is upon us and Meijer is the one stop shop for all your Thanksgiving needs! They have everything for your family’s Thanksgiving feast including turkeys, potatoes, and pies! You’ll definitely want to swing by the Meijer bakery section to check out the wide variety of pre-made pies made fresh every day. They have everything from pumpkin pie, caramel apple pie, and blueberry pie. The best part is these pies are made with real fruits and fresh ingredients. They will surely be the best pie at your family dinner!

The holiday shopping season is gearing up for Black Friday sales. Many stores are releasing schedules for the shopping rush. Here's our list, which will be updated.
