Why wait for Black Friday? Sears isn't.
The retailer will open its Sears stores from 7 a.m. until noon on Thanksgiving, according a leaked circular obtained by CNBC.com.
This would mark the first time Sears will be open during the holiday in the 85 years it has operated retail locations. (Sears operated as a catalog company before that.)
By contrast, Kmart, which is also a unit of Sears Holdings has been opening on Thanksgiving for nearly two decades.
"We made the decision, based on our customers' desire to shop for great values, to open Sears' stores on Thanksgiving," the company said in an email.
The Sears schedule will be limited to the morning hours in order to balance the needs of its customers and its workers, Sears said.
Wal-Mart continues to put pressure on everybody as retailers continue to chase an increasingly shrinking US dollar. Helicopter Ben's latest move will only make imports and basic commodities more expensive and force retail chains to boost prices. You might save on Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday deals, but when your dinner is more expensive this year, you'll notice...and especially as gas and food prices start going up again.
Dollar stretching is going to become an art form, folks.

Where's Arcadian/Buckeye Dan these days?
Oh that's right they were you all along and it was getting too hard to troll your own blog in order to get readers because I kept catching you doing it.
So you switched to allowing anonymous comments so you could continue this sad little charade. I've been watching you fool your readers for months now. They're almost as stupid as you are.
But not me. The Shadow knows.
To Zandar's reader(s): How do you like being played for fools knowing that all Zandar's trolls are his own creation in order to get responses out of you?
I'm sure those conspiracy theories sound really good in your head.
I remember you. You were here when I exposed Arcadian and Buckeye Dan as Zandar.
Why are you still here when you know Zandar is a liar and a fraud?
New. Worst. Troll. Ever.
Folks come here for the posts. The comments aren't the big draw. That may chap your ass. Tough.
Because you didn't actually prove jack, just sayin'. You made vague threats and vague accusations. Then you took perfectly reasonable moderation decisions as oppression and proof of your accusation.
Seriously, trolls have been doing that for years. It's not anything new.
But hey, you know as I say: if you need to get off that badly, there's perfectly good porn out there.
