Black Friday in Reno

Black Friday this year might be a more apt description for the mood of retailers and shoppers rather than the traditional turning of the corner onto Profitability Street. However, hope springs eternal, so most shopping areas are carrying on with extended Black Friday hours as in the past. If you have the money and get out early, you'll undoubtedly find some extra good bargains this year as stores struggle to move the merchandise.
