Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (NYSE: WMT) has released a huge list of Black Friday specials. It has to have a good holiday season to silence skeptics who think America’s largest retailer can no longer grow, at least in America. Like most retailers, it kicks off its sales over the Thanksgiving weekend as a means to draw early shoppers.

As another way to reach a larger customer base than it has in previous years, all holiday sales will be offered online:

For the first time ever, the majority of Walmart’s Black Friday deals will be available on Walmart.com – including many of the top items such as televisions, video game consoles and small home appliances – beginning at 12:01 a.m. PT on Thanksgiving morning. Then, Black Friday will begin in stores at 6:00 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day. New this year, Walmart’s mobile users can get a first look at the retailer’s Black Friday circular, available today through the Walmart app.

The retailer is pushing its app, probably because the app encourages customers not to wander to other sites.

Wal-Mart’s promotions for the Thanksgiving weekend, which include Black Friday, are focused on consumer electronics and related products, particularly televisions and movies.

Management will have to wait until the end of the year to find out if these discounts worked or, on the other hand, if they brought in too little inventory of the items to fulfill all the demand.
