  Compared to last year, Walmart will offer 65 percent more inventory on televisions and double the number of tablets\u2014some of the most popular Black Friday items. The retailer not only has more products, but lower prices too. For example, this year a 32\u201d LED TV will be available at Walmart for $98. Last Black Friday, a 32\u201d LED TV sold for $148 at Walmart.<\/span><\/p>\n

  \u201cDelivering for our customers wouldn’t be possible without our associates. They are a critical component of our success throughout the year, and especially during the holiday season,\u201d added Simon. \u201cWe appreciate each associate and the time they are dedicating to serve the families who shop our stores. As we have in the past, we\u2019ll be recognizing their hard work with additional pay and free meals during their shifts. This year, as a special thanks, associates who work on Thanksgiving Day will receive a 25 percent discount on an entire purchase this holiday season.\u201d<\/p>\n

  One-Hour Guarantee \u2013 It\u2019s Back and Better!<\/b><\/p>\n

  In 2012, Walmart introduced the industry\u2019s first One-Hour Guarantee, a Black Friday event that guaranteed customers select items during a one-hour period. Due to an overwhelmingly positive response from customers, the retailer is bringing it back and expanding from the three items offered last year to 21 One-Hour Guarantee items this year.<\/p>\n

  Customers who are in the designated lines at Walmart between 6 and 7 p.m. or 8 and 9 p.m. local time on Thursday, Nov. 28 can purchase top gifts at special low prices with confidence that they\u2019ll receive the item either that night or before Christmas.<\/p>\n
