ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ) – Shoppers are already on the move, taking advantage of deals retailers starting offering at stores across NE Wisconsin on Thanksgiving Day.
“It’s always a fun time of the year….this is the day we wait for.”
Mark Weigle is the manager of the Bay Park Square Shopko. He’s been through 33 holiday shopping seasons.
His store is ready to go, full of merchandise and a large staff.
This guy was first in line when the doors opened.
“We want to take advantage of some ‘Door Buster’ sales we saw.”
But for others, like Taryn, she has a game plan and, if she needs them, some sharp elbows.
“You gotta know the layout of the store because you have to know where things are….and you gotta be aggressive.”
Colleen has the planning down to a science.
“You plan ahead, you write lists, you put the prices down so you know what you’re looking for. You put the name of the stores on top of your lists. That’s the way I do it.”
Many of the shoppers say this is just the start of their blitz…with the goal of holiday shopping done by Sunday night.
