LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Wal- Mart Stores said Wednesday that most of its stores will be open 24 hours and new crowd-control measures will be taken on Thanksgiving weekend, after a temporary employee was trampled to death in a Black Friday rush last year.
The world’s largest retailer said the day-after-Thanksgiving sales will begin at 5 a.m. Nov. 27 but that most U.S. stores will be open 24 hours to prevent a mad dash.
The announcement doesn’t affect most of Wal-Mart’s Supercenters, which already are open 24 hours.
