Fred Meyer Announces New Black Friday Plans

Fred Meyer has placed a priority on safety throughout the pandemic and has now made deliberate adjustments to Black Friday plans that will allow customers to shop great deals with confidence.

This year, there will be a number of events to help spread out shopping patterns and reduce congestion, which will give customers more opportunities to save, safely:

• The “Black Friday Starts Now” event began 11/11 and will advance Black Friday prices on the hottest items across the store
• There will be an expanded 3-Day Black Friday sale that will run 11/25-11/27

The traditional Black Friday event on 11/27 will take place with a wide range of robust deals, but will incorporate a number of new safety precautions as well:

• Stores will be designating one door as an entrance and one door as an exit to manage traffic flow
• Doors will be staffed to ensure social distancing, mandatory masks, and closely monitor capacity limits
• A single primary bank of check stands with hand sanitizer will be utilized during peak periods to control traffic flow and ensure social distancing
• Gift card giveaways will change from the first 100 customers to recurring giveaways every 15 minutes, in order to prevent crowding in the morning
• Social distancing measures will be in place outside of the store for those attending the event
• Additional capacity measures and traffic flow systems will be implemented in popular areas to ensure safety throughout the st ore at all times
