Early-bird shoppers flock to pre-Christmas sales

Friday, November 26, 2004

Target wasn't slated to open until 6 a.m. today. But that didn't keep people from lining up outside in preparation of holiday and personal shopping sprees.

Throughout the city this morning, the smell of commerce filled the air as bargain shoppers cashed in on special deals at stores like Target, Wal-Mart, Sears, JC Penney's and Best Buy. All the stores opened at 6 a.m. and had packed parking lots by the time doors opened.
