Shoppers quickly caught on to the
new growing trend, which is now being called “Grey Thursday”.
After shoppers stuffed themselves on Thanksgiving, they
hurried and challenged the 6 p.m. great holiday deals.
Stores including Macy's, Best
Buy, H.H. Greg, and DICK’s opened up around 5 p.m. Store managers on
let 50 people in at time and things moved very smoothly.
Thanksgiving day has now turned into the new Black Friday
after Thursday’s success.
“The atmosphere this year seems more structured, I guess you
say less chaos going on, the earlier they opened it made it seem like less
trouble with people and not as hectic and more peace among each other,” said
Antonio Shipp.
There were no lines and no waiting at the Oak Court Mall in Memphis TN on Friday, know as the busiest shopping day of the year.
Stores like Jos. A. Bank’s, a tailored and casual men’s
store did not open their doors on Thursday.
Joseph A Banks Store Manager, Robert Parrish said Men’s Wear
House has recently bought them and the regional manger decided to let them off
on Thanksgiving.
Parrish said he loves spending that time with his family and
glad he has that day to relax before the storm.
