Black Friday Bargains in RSM

This year, skip the mall madness! Look no further than your local retailers for bargains.

Black Friday is the holiday that immediately follows Thanksgiving, and local stores are getting an early start on deals. Even though Rancho Santa Margarita tends to close down at 10 p.m., the shopping nightlife could be quite busy for those who want to do their Christmas shopping early—or late, as the case may be.

Kohls, Gamestop, Target and Bed Bath & Beyond will swing open their doors at midnight.

It could definitely be a late night-early morning.
