Gporter34 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Do you think that other stores will start their "early bird" specials earlier this year, too? I was wondering because the original hours for our WalMart were 6am til 10am. Then 6am til 11am. Now 5am til 11am? Pretty soon the early birds will last most of the day. That's great, cause it gives me more time!!! lol!!! :gd_devild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elena_398 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 KB Toys always opens at 5am. 3 yrs ago, Toys R us always opened at 6am. To compete with KB Toys, the manager at my TRU opens now at 5am. KB is in my mall and right down the street barely a 1/4 mile is TRU and Best Buy.

blakes_mommy Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 They might as well start at midnight, I can't sleep anyway! I go to bed in my clothes so I don't have to waste time in the morning! I even apply color stay lipstick! To make it worse, so does my 18 year old cousin, I have her trained well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumball Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I can't remember what year it was, but didn't Kmart stay open 24hrs one year from Thanksgiving thru Christmas Eve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayhaysay Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I'm glad WM is opening earlier. A couple of other places I usually go open at 6:00 so in years past I have missed a couple of bargains somewhere every year because everything opened at the same time. Now if those places will just keep their opening times at 6:00 I'll be set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awellis Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I can't remember what year it was, but didn't Kmart stay open 24hrs one year from Thanksgiving thru Christmas Eve? Yes they did that. I think they did it two years in a row. I'll never go shopping w/ my aunt again for christmas. It was the 23rd and she didn't have all of her shopping done. She didn't want to shop on christmas eve. She saved Kmart until the end since it was opened 24 hrs. I got home at 3am!!!! Yes 3 am!!! We started at 11 am!!! About the store hours. I thought the walmart hours were earlier than usual. I just thought it was my memory though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gporter34 Posted October 21, 2005 Author Share Posted October 21, 2005 Our WalMart is open 24/7 so I will have to go earlier. But it is good because then outta there earlier. You are so right about missing other sales because they all start at the same time. More time, more deals.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkcjwares Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Last year our Toy's R Us ad stated they opened at 6am but they actually opened at 5am. We were in and out of there before the lines started! We also picked the stores in the city that weren't in the busiest part of town. Not the nost desirable side to be on, but they had everyhting we wanted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessnickkatieryan Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Last year people were taking the things off the pallets before they were supposed too!! But also last year I think my store was the only store with EVERYTHING still on pallets when people were done shopping they were selling things from BF for 2 weeks after! It was crazy, Dh and I are all ready cell phones in hand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
