"This is the busiest time of year for our guests, and with the shortened season, we want to make it as easy as possible for them to cross everything off their holiday list at Target," Gomez said when the store announced its Black Friday deals, adding, "Our teams will be ready to help guests shop and save with ease this holiday season."
