Lake Forest Businesses Offer Deep Black Friday Discounts

Big-box stores are the ones that tend to draw attention on Black Friday, thanks to the long lines that snake around the building even before the sun rises and the deep discounts on big-ticket items, such as flat-screen televisions.

However, while small businesses might not open their doors at 4 a.m. Friday, many Lake Forest companies are still offering their shopping-inclined customers special Black Friday deals.

Patch asked Lake Forest businesses to share their Black Friday offerings so local shoppers could have a sneak peek. (Some are for Patch readers only! Make sure to mention where you found the deal to use it.)
