It’s game on now for holiday shopping.
Black Friday is here, and stores across the area were full of shoppers looking for the right gift for their special someone or to get a head start for Christmas time. As far as just how much holiday shopping gets done on Black Friday? Well, that depends on the shopper.
Retailers say they were ready for the crush. Waters True Value supervisor Angelica Barajas says the last few weeks have been busy in preparation for the holiday shopping season.
Bluestem Farm and Ranch Supply manager Bruce Burenheide says things got off to a good start at his store.
Even with Thanksgiving seeing more shopping traffic over the last five years, Black Friday is still considered as the official start to the holiday shopping season.
Shoppers have a chance to get more deals Saturday as many local retailers take part in Small Business Saturday.
