Dick’s Sporting Goods announced plans to offer its Black Friday deals over a 10-day period rather than concentrated on a single shopping day. The strategy is intended to help ensure a safe shopping experience for its customers amid the pandemic this holiday season. The company has also hired more employees to support its plan.

In-store sanitation procedures rolled out in March will continue through its holiday selling season including mobile checkout,  return stations and its recently introduced Dick’s Shop/Click/Pay app in select stores. The company has also rolled out plans to manage lines at its more than 800 stores nationwide.

“We recognize the holiday shopping season is starting much earlier and will be a different experience this year for our customers,” said Lauren Hobart, president, Dick’s Sporting Goods. “For the first time, we are extending our deals and making it easier than ever for our customers to get the best gifts for everyone on their list with flexible pickup and fast shipping to help them alleviate unwanted stress and large crowds. We’ve doubled down on technology solutions to ensure customers get what they need quickly, safely and hassle-free.”

Dick’s 10 Days of Black Friday starts November 18 online and in-store and runs through 11:59 p.m. November 28.
