Black Friday Arrives Early For Sears Members

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Nov. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For the first time, Sears will open all its stores to select Shop Your Way members for a private night of shopping many of its Thanksgiving/Black Friday doorbusters four days early. Sears will hold its "Members Private Night" in all stores on Sunday, Nov. 22 from 6-9 p.m. While access to the event is by email or text invitation only, members can text the word "EXCLUSIVE" to 73277 to receive an invitation*, while supplies last.

"We wanted to do something extra special for our best members this year," said Joelle Maher, president and chief member officer for Sears. "Inviting them to shop four days before the rush of Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday and giving them access to a huge number of deals and savings – more than 1,000 doorbusters – is about as big as it gets in retail."

Plus, to ease the stress of the busiest of shopping days, Sears makes it easy to fill the sleigh with gifts however, whenever and wherever using free services such as Buy Online, Pickup In-store; In-Vehicle Pickup; Anyone, Anywhere Pickup; Ship-to-Home; and Reserve It.

The Members Private Night event will also be available online at sears.com from 5 p.m. Sun., Nov. 22 to 11:59 p.m. Mon., Nov. 23. A sneak preview of the Sears Thanksgiving/Black Friday circular is available now using the Sears mobile app, or by visiting http://local.sears.com/FLS#!/weeklyad/11121501-1.
