The Record

It was a North Jersey Black Friday with a new twist — shoppers saying they went to malls and stores Friday because they wanted to avoid the craziness.

While Black Friday still is expected to draw the most sales and shoppers of the four-day weekend, the madness — the frenzied rush for door-buster deals — largely was pushed forward into Thanksgiving night, when more than a dozen major retailers opened their doors or began offering deals in the early evening.

As a result, the stores that opened on Thanksgiving were quieter and calmer on Friday, although stores and malls in Paramus — which delayed their openings until 7 a.m. Friday because of a borough ordinance restricting all-night shopping — still had lines of shoppers waiting for the doors to open.

  1. The Malls not that busy, perhaps they will shop locally? If the stores open Sunday?

  2. Open Sunday? Go to Wayne.

  3. And get a life.
