MIAMI, Fla. – They lined up before the doors opened on Thanksgiving. They are the ultimate shoppers. They are the ones who could not wait until Black Friday.
A woman named Joyce was the first in line. We asked her if she was getting any flak because she was at the front of the line.
“No, everyone’s friendly so far,” she told us.
They came by the dozens waiting outside of the Brandsmart in Miami Gardens until it opened Thanksgiving at 4 p.m. and were ready to race for a good deal.
These early shoppers put the turkey on hold hoping to get their hands on some of the hottest items. AirPods, air fryers and big-screen televisions are at the top of their list.
The store manager told us some of the great deals just in case we were interested.
“You want a 32-inch Smart TV, starting at $78.88? How about a 65-inch 4K Roku TV for $298?”
Brandsmart was staying open until 1 a.m. on Thanksgiving and will reopen at 6 a.m. on Black Friday and close at 11 p.m.
