Holiday Shopping Chauffeur in St. Louis: Black Friday 2026
Black Friday is November 27, 2026, and the simplest way to cover several St. Louis shopping centers in one trip is hourly chauffeur service: one vehicle, one chauffeur, and room in the back for the bags. Black Car Service rates start at $100 an hour in the Cadillac XT6 with a 3-hour minimum, and multiple stops are included.
A shopping loop with measured drive times
| Leg | Distance | Drive without traffic |
|---|---|---|
| Clayton to Plaza Frontenac | 5.2 miles | 9 minutes |
| Plaza Frontenac to Saint Louis Galleria | 4.3 miles | 8 minutes |
| Saint Louis Galleria to West County Center | 8.8 miles | 16 minutes |
We measured these with OSRM routing on OpenStreetMap on October 17, 2026. They do not include holiday traffic or time spent in parking lots.
The stops
- ●Plaza Frontenac, 1701 South Lindbergh Boulevard. Its website lists stores including Gucci, Louis Vuitton, OMEGA, Anthropologie, lululemon and Pottery Barn.
- ●Saint Louis Galleria, 1155 Saint Louis Galleria. Its website lists stores including Apple, Sephora and H&M.
- ●West County Center in Des Peres.
Neither Plaza Frontenac nor the Galleria had posted Black Friday 2026 hours on their websites when we checked on October 17, so confirm opening times with each center before you set the pickup time.
