Dillard’s Black Friday 2026

Is Dillard’s open on Thanksgiving, and does it even publish a Black Friday ad? Those two questions come up every year about Dillard’s Black Friday, and the answer to the second is usually no.

Dillard’s doesn’t run a storewide percentage-off sale on Black Friday. In 2024 and 2025 it marked down brands and departments instead, mostly at 25% to 40% off and up to 50% off home. Its clearance pages also carried a section for 65% off and higher this fall.

So I’d treat Dillard’s Black Friday as a brand-by-brand sale and go in with a list. Black Friday 2026 falls on November 27, and Dillard’s hasn’t announced a sale or its store hours for it yet.

Dillard’s Black Friday Hours

Dillard’s hasn’t posted its Black Friday hours for this year. Its store pages show hours only a week ahead, so I’d look at your store’s page from about November 20.

These were its Thanksgiving and Black Friday hours in the last 3 years:

Year	Thanksgiving Day	Black Friday
2023	Closed, as reported	9 a.m. to 8 p.m., as reported
2024	Closed, as reported	9 a.m. to 8 p.m., as reported
2025	Closed	9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The 2025 hours are from Dillard’s own store pages. The 2023 and 2024 hours are from news lists of holiday store hours.

• Earlier opening: last year’s 9 a.m. start was 2 hours ahead of the usual 11 a.m. opening
• The weekend after: last year, stores ran 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday
• Thanksgiving this year: Dillard’s customer service phone line listed Thanksgiving as closed in early November. That line covers phone support, so the store hours still need confirming
• Mall stores: hours can differ, so I’d check your store’s page

What Dillard’s Discounted Last Black Friday

Dillard’s doesn’t use the name, but it has put brand and department markdowns on its homepage in Black Friday week in each of the last 3 years. These were the offers on Black Friday 2025:

Department	Offer on Black Friday 2025
Women’s	Dresses at 33% to 40% off. Pajamas and sleepwear at up to 40% off
Shoes and boots	UGG at 33% off select styles. Boots and booties at 33% to 40% off select styles
Handbags	kate spade new york and Brahmin at up to 30% off. Michael Kors and Vera Bradley at up to 25% off. Dooney & Bourke and Patricia Nash at 25% off the entire stock
Men’s	Men’s apparel at up to 40% off
Home	Up to 50% off

• How long it ran: the offers were on the homepage on Black Friday (November 28) and still there on Cyber Monday (December 1). They were gone by December 3
• Before Black Friday: a header for holiday markdowns of up to 33% to 40% off select styles ran from November 21 to December 24
• Other brands: Kendra Scott at up to 30% off and sunglasses at up to 40% off
• Code: none. The offers carried no coupon code in 2023, 2024 or 2025
• Doorbusters: none. The homepage didn’t use the words Black Friday, Cyber Monday or doorbuster in Black Friday week in any of those 3 years

The 2 years before were close to this:

• 2024: up to 40% off kate spade new york handbags, dresses, sleepwear, women’s shoes and men’s sportswear, with home at up to 50% off. 9to5Toys reported a Ralph Lauren Classic Fit Polo at $55, down from $110
• 2023: a header for thousands of new markdowns, with kate spade new york handbags, dresses and women’s boots at up to 40% off

So yes, Dillard’s has a Black Friday sale in practice, and it comes brand by brand. I’d write down the brands you want before you go, because the cut differs from one brand to the next.

What to Expect This Year

Dillard’s hasn’t announced a Black Friday sale for this year. Its homepage carried no sale banner in the first week of November, and its press page has no release about one.

Going by the last 2 years, this is what I’d expect:

• Markdowns: by brand and department again, mostly at 25% to 40% off, with home at up to 50% off. That is my estimate from 2024 and 2025
• Timing: the offers went up on Thanksgiving afternoon in 2024 and by Black Friday in 2025, and they stayed through Cyber Monday both times
• No one-day price: the same offers ran for the whole weekend, so I wouldn’t count on a deeper cut on Black Friday itself
• Final sale: clearance marked 65% off or more can’t be returned

Dillard’s doesn’t offer price adjustments or price matching, so a lower price a week later won’t get you money back.

Dillard’s Cyber Monday

Dillard’s hasn’t announced a Cyber Monday offer for this year, and it ran no separate one in the last 2 years. Cyber Monday 2026 falls on November 30.

• 2025: the Black Friday offers stayed on the homepage through Cyber Monday, December 1. There was no named Cyber Monday offer, no code and no free shipping offer
• 2024: the Black Friday offers stayed up through Cyber Monday, December 2. The only addition was UGG select styles at up to 33% off
• Store hours: stores kept their regular 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. hours on Cyber Monday last year

So I wouldn’t hold a purchase for Cyber Monday at Dillard’s. Going by those 2 years, Monday’s prices are the weekend’s prices, and I’d buy when your size is in stock.

Other Dillard’s Sales During the Year

Black Friday isn’t the deepest sale at Dillard’s, because its clearance goes further. This is how its other sales have run:

• New Year’s Day sale: the old sale took an additional 50% off permanently reduced items on January 1. It was reported as canceled for 2022, and the homepage showed no such sale on January 1 in 2024, 2025 or 2026
• Extra percent-off events: Dillard’s has run events that took an additional 30% or 40% off permanently reduced items, such as one in February 2019. Its homepage showed none in 2025 or in 2026 so far, though its policies still mention them
• Online clearance: in October, its clearance pages ran in tiers from 25% off up to a section for 65% off and higher
• Clearance centers: 28 centers in 15 states, including 5 in Florida and 4 in Texas. They don’t accept returns from regular stores or online orders, and Dillard’s doesn’t publish the discounts inside

Its seasonal clearance followed the same calendar in 2025 and 2026:

Clearance event	When it ran in 2026	Headline on the homepage
New Markdowns	Late December to mid-January	Up to 40% off
End of Season Clearance	Early to mid-February	Up to 65% off select styles
President’s Day Clearance	Presidents’ Day weekend	Up to 65% off
Memorial Day Clearance	Memorial Day weekend	Up to 30% to 65% off
The Summer Clearance Event	Early July to early September	Up to 40% off at first, then up to 65% off

So if the discount matters more than the date, I’d shop Dillard’s in February or in July and August, when the homepage headline goes up to 65% off.

Beauty Gifts With Purchase

Beauty gifts are a regular Dillard’s offer, but they haven’t lined up with Black Friday. Its free gifts ran in 9 windows this year, and none of the last 3 Black Friday weeks had one. These two ran this fall, while supplies lasted:

• Lancôme: a 7-piece gift with any $39.50 Lancôme purchase, from October 4 to 17
• Clinique: a 6-piece gift with a $37 purchase, with extras at $60 and $80, from August 31 to September 12
• Black Friday week: in 2023 and 2024 the beauty offers were paid sets, at $79 to $90 with a brand purchase. Last year’s Black Friday homepage had no beauty offer
• This year’s holiday sets: listed in October at $69 to $90 each, with any purchase from the brand

So I’d time a beauty purchase to a gift window, and I wouldn’t plan a Black Friday trip around one.

Dillard’s Credit Card

The Dillard’s card can add to a Black Friday purchase, but only if you’d use it again. This is how it works:

• Rewards: 2 points per $1 at Dillard’s, and every 1,500 points becomes a $10 certificate or a 10% off pass for 1 day. Points expire after 12 months
• New accounts: spending $100 on the day you’re approved earns a 10% off Welcome Shopping Pass, sent with your first statement. It works on 1 later day, up to $100 off
• Elite status: $2,000 of spending a year adds free gift wrap and free standard shipping, once a month each
• Card sale days: its card, rewards and Elite pages listed none this fall. A day of early access for cardholders was reported for a clearance event in 2019

I’d open the card only if you shop at Dillard’s several times a year. For a single Black Friday trip it adds little, because the welcome pass arrives with your first statement and works on a later day.

Dillard’s Holiday Return Policy

Holiday purchases get extra time at Dillard’s. These are the return terms for this season:

• Regular window: 30 days from purchase, by mail or at any Dillard’s store except a clearance center
• Holiday window: the returns policy gives November 1 to December 11 for purchases, with returns until January 10. A banner on the same page gave December 15 and January 13, so I’d confirm the date on your receipt
• Last year: items bought from November 1 to December 12 could be returned until January 11
• After 30 days: a holiday return is refunded to a Dillard’s gift card
• Not returnable: clearance marked down 65% or more, sale items with an additional discount and personalized items
• Return cost: free in a store. A mailed return costs $9.95 for the label, and the original shipping isn’t refunded
• Store purchases: a return needs the proof-of-purchase label and the tags

Shipping and Pickup

Dillard’s charges for shipping on smaller online orders, so pickup can be the cheaper route:

• Standard shipping: $9.95 on orders up to $149.99
• Free shipping: on orders of $150 or more in the continental US, except on additional clearance sale days
• Faster shipping: $20 for expedited and $30 for next business day
• Pickup: in-store and curbside pickup on most items, with 10 days to collect. An order may not be ready the same day

For a Black Friday order under $150, I’d choose store pickup if a store is close, because it saves the $9.95.

Popular Dillard’s Black Friday Buys

Dillard’s doesn’t publish item prices in advance, so these two are about how to buy, not a price to wait for. Both are also sold on Amazon.

UGG Classic Ultra Mini

The UGG Classic Ultra Mini is one of the most popular winter gifts Dillard’s sells. Buying it in a store lets you try sizes, which matters because UGGs fit differently from sneakers.

• List price: $165

Dillard’s had UGG at 33% off select styles last Black Friday, and some colors of this boot were listed at $110.55 there in late October. UGG’s own site lists it from $109.99 to $165 by color, so I’d compare the color you want at both before paying full price.

Clinique Moisture Surge 100H

Clinique Moisture Surge 100H is the product I’d buy during a Clinique gift-with-purchase event. In March and September this year, a $37 order earned a free 6-piece gift.

• Size: 1.7 oz

The gift is worth more than any discount Dillard’s usually puts on Clinique.

Final Remarks

If you’re planning a Dillard’s trip, I’d go in for the brands you want and sized items like boots, and leave the hunt for big discounts to the clearance racks. A clearance find at 65% off beats almost any Black Friday markdown there, as long as you’re sure you won’t return it.

For electronics and home deals, my Black Friday deals page lists this year’s offers. If sportswear or outdoor gear is on your list, my Nike Black Friday and Cabela’s Black Friday pages cover those sales.
