Black Friday Sales at Freehold Raceway Mall

Great savings all day long on Black Friday. Most stores open at midnight.

This Friday, Nov. 25, is the biggest shopping day of the year: Black Friday. Most stores in the Freehold Raceway Mall will open at midnight Thursday night with amazing deals all day until 11 p.m. For those brave enough to venture the early morning (or late night, as it were) crowds, there will be holiday survival bags available at guest services, a pajama party hosted by WPST FM in center court by Starbucks, and of course, countless sales. Good luck, and happy shopping!
