To say traffic on West Broad Street is heavy at any given rush hour or mid-day on weekends would be a slight understatement to most who live and work in Short Pump.

Never fear though, we’ve compiled the most complete list of Black Friday deals you’ll find anywhere in the West End by far to help you navigate the madness.
