New York (CNN Business) Walmart has some unique plans for this year's Black Friday sales: They'll last practically the entire month of November as it hopes to reduce crowds at stores during the pandemic. America's largest retailer announced plans for a "revamped Black Friday savings event," with sales over three weekends next month that will begin on its website before hitting stores a few days later. The staggered sales events are scheduled for the first, second and fourth weekends of November with hundreds of discounted items, including electronics, toys and apparel. Although it's pushing people to shop online and use its curbside pickup option, shoppers that go to its stores won't experience the pandemonium of the past. Walmart WMT said that so-called "Health Ambassadors" will be stationed at entrances to remind people to put on their masks.
