Many retail employees are forgoing Turkey Day with their families to offer a jump start on the Black Friday shopping mania.
According to the USA Today, Wal-Mart, Old Navy, and Radio Shack on the West Coast will entertain shoppers who decide to splurge after a hearty meal.
So will Toys R Us, says an earlier Walletpop post and Boscov’s and certain Banana Republic/ Gap stores. These retailers will join Kmart, Walgreen’s and other drug and grocery stores who began the tradition years ago.
“It’s a big trend for retailers,” said Scott Testa, professor of business administration at Cabrini College in Philadelphia in a phone interview. “I think a certain percentage of the population will go and shop especially if they can beat the Black Friday crowd.”

It will not hurt you if you will find the time
to look for more of these networking sessions so that you can get more information while
marketing your business at the same time. That means 1 in 20 people at your weekend seminar will
succeed. The information age is upon us, much like the industrial revolution was upon England at the time.
