Black Friday officially kicks off holiday shopping mania, but in Brooklyn festive ‘Small Business Saturday’ is the real deal
Across the country, Black Friday — the day when holiday shopping officially kicks off – is marked by insane sales, long lines and shopping hysteria. And the Brooklyn outposts of national chains are offering door busters with the best of them.
Macy’s on Fulton Street planned to open at midnight on Thanksgiving (and stay open until 10 p.m. Friday night). Best Buy – offering steeply-discounted laptops and flat screen TVs — opens at midnight as well, with tickets handed out at 10 p.m.
Staples said it would open its doors at 5 a.m. Friday morning, offering computers, data storage devices and software at competitive prices. Target urged customers to rush right over after Thanksgiving dinner, saying it would open at the Atlantic Center Mall at 9 p.m. on Thanksgiving night and remain open until 11 p.m. Friday.
