Why REI closes its stores on Black Friday for #OptOutside
If you’re planning to shop the REI Holiday Sale, keep the retailer’s annual Black Friday tradition in mind. Through its #OptOutside initiative, REI closes its stores every Black Friday and gives 14,000 employees time outside, encouraging customers to do the same.
That makes shopping the Holiday Sale ahead of Black Friday a smart way to check outdoor gear and gifts off your list before heading outside yourself.
