Tips for Black Friday on Oʻahu

  • Pick two or three stores and go early. Several of the best offers are time-limited (THEFACESHOP’s 30% off ends at 11 a.m., Hawaiian Island Creations’ 30% off ends at noon) or limited to the first shoppers (Pearlridge’s soft serve and bags).
  • Bring your Hawaiʻi ID. Bloomingdale’s is running its deal as a kamaʻāina event. At other stores, ask about a kamaʻāina discount before you pay.
  • Plan Thanksgiving errands for Wednesday. Ala Moana Center, Waikele and Windward Mall are closed on Thanksgiving Day.

We’ll update this guide as more stores post deals for Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday (Nov. 30). For holiday events, see our Oʻahu holiday events guide, and for Thanksgiving dinner plans, our Thanksgiving 2026 guide.
