Give thanks, then shop
Lines inside, outside stores on extended Black Friday
It’s fair to say Robert Chamberlain wanted a 50-inch TV badly, especially one for $288 at Kmart. The Dixon resident started waiting outside the Sterling store at 3:30 p.m. on a balmy Thanksgiving.
He was the first in line, which extended outside the door to the Affinity Cash Loans store at the end of the building.
Kmart had special hours for Black Friday – actually, Black Thursday. The store was open from 8 p.m. Thursday to 3 a.m. Friday.
