juanadeal Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 I was at TRU yesterday and the Manager told me the store will be opening at midnight on BF again. I hope that's good news for somebody. He also said that in December, the store hours will be 6am to 1am.
stacyk9 Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 6 am to 1 am?!?!? Wow. That seems a little extreme. Not sure I would really want to be out at 1 am shopping for toys, but I guess somebody would.
Rose0426 Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 That is actually a good time to shop if you are looking for a hard to find gift. At that time of year they usually get trucks in every night and they usually started putting things out at 10pm. The aisles are crazy since they have all the boxes in the middle of the aisle. I used to work there until this year when I fractured my ankle. I will miss it. I used to love Christmas time.
Boilerhoss Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Actually I love that they will be opening at midnight it makes it better to schedule so I can be at other stores when they open! Last year it was TRU then to Old Navy who opened at 3 or 4 am!
lcplwinkerswife Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 i sort of hope they open at midnight because then i can go to other stores that open later or go the mall that might stay open all night this year .
wnc_mom Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 I just HATED that they had 2 sets of DB's last year one set at 12 aand one at 5am...needless to say you couldnt get in the store at 5am...i lost out on a ton oif great deals because of that!
racerfan Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 (edited) I just want to give a heads up. My friend's Husband is a Manager at TRU and it is supposed to be top secret that they will be opening at 10pm instead of Midnight like last year. She just told me last night. He has not seen the ad yet but as soon as he does I asked for it. Last year he knew about the Midnight opening just not what was in the ad before GD got the ad. I dont know if this is good news or bad news lol It is confirmed Edited November 11, 2010 by racerfan Confirmed rumor

I dont know if this is good news or bad news lol Here we go, Black Thursday. I knew it was coming. I don't mind them opening up at 10pm at all, I can do some shopping, get some sleep, and then wake up shopping again. Can't beat that.
Buckeye Shopper Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 Honestly, I hope this is wrong. I love Thanksgiving, and spending time with my family. I wish all retailers would stick with opening early Friday morning. I know I might be in the minority here, but it's getting ridiculous IMO.
smr071165 Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 TRU by me opened at Midnight last year. We left to get in line at 11 and it was all the way around the building! By the time we got inside, almost everything was gone. It was total chaos. Since there were 2 of us, one got in line and the other tried to shop. But when we got to where we could see the cashier, we were told we were in an electronics ONLY line and had to move. Talk about annoying. I will be avoiding TRU this year, that's for sure!
Jen8112 Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 I hope not. I got in line at about 9pm last year so that would mean I'd have to get in line at 6 or 7 this year! Maybe the ad will be disappointing like the rest so far and I can stay home and sleep.
brinak2005 Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 I hope not. I got in line at about 9pm last year so that would mean I'd have to get in line at 6 or 7 this year! Maybe the ad will be disappointing like the rest so far and I can stay home and sleep. I was in line at the same time last year, it worked out great so I could be at other stores to line up early enough. If they open at 10, I will have way to much time to kill between stores. Plus I don't want to be at TRU at 6pm on Thanksgiving night. I need to be napping at that time
wnc_mom Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 Ugh this is going to suck. I wish they would go back to opening at 5 AM UGHHHH I prob will just skip try even tho its where I perfer to do my shopping . But I will not be apart of black thanksgiving! Nor will my child's gifts lol
Rose0426 Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 I know last year some stores were going to open on Thanksgiving Day like K Mart, but open 10a-6p, I think. Really bad times. I don't think enough people signed up to work and corp. scraped the idea, I guess. If this keeps going, you will see more and more stores open on Thanksgiving.
tinkrbel Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 A few years back our CompUSA was open Thanksgiving night. I was in and out with multiples of everything I needed and it only started getting busy after I had left. Hopefully with ToysRUs parents will have to pick a day to go and therefor make it less busy overall.
hnybee411 Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 I told my mom we're just going to pick what time we want to go shopping and go out and see what we can get. I'm tired of this opening earlier and earlier crap.

It's getting to the point you cannot even enjoy Thanksgiving anymore cause you have to sleep during the day so you up & ready to go during the night. I really see no point in opening earlier & earlier.
bigjimslade Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Yes but they want your money sooner so it is 10pm did'nt they do midnight last year
