Black Friday Shoppers Rise Early
As most were stuffing themselves with turkey, retailers were preparing to get ready for wall-to-wall shoppers while stores across Kentucky and the rest of America braced for the biggest shopping day of the year. Last minute preparations were on the minds of those getting ready for big deals meant to reel in purchases on what store owners call their "make it or break it day." While wanting to push sales, safety and efficiency also remained on the minds of employers and employees who knew many would roll out of bed before the turkey..uh, or rooster...crowed. Before dawn Friday morning, shoppers will be out to snag the biggest deal of the year, hoping to either out-do Santa, or, maybe just fill up a stocking, but it's for sure the early bird will be up to capture more than the everyday worm.
