Pro Tips for Snagging the Kohl’s Doorbusters

• Shop early on Thanksgiving Day: Doorbusters start online at 12:01 a.m. (CT) on Thursday, Nov. 27, and many of the hottest items may sell out before morning.
• Know your in-store opening time: Kohl’s Black Friday in-store doorbusters begin at 5:00 a.m. local time on Friday, Nov. 28. Lines can form early, especially for small kitchen electrics and toys.
• Use multiple tabs: Helpful if sizes/colors disappear quickly—have backups ready.
• Guest checkout: If a code won’t apply, try guest checkout or reorder your stacking.
• Store pickup: Grabs hot items before driving to the store and reduces the chance of in-store sellouts.
• Set alerts in our app: Get notified when high-demand items go live or when prices drop so you aren’t constantly refreshing pages.
