Black Friday Wars

Christmas Thanksgiving  It's going to be a cold night along the Gulf Coast. The temps aren't stopping anxious shoppers from camping in front of retail stores waiting for the doors to open for Black Friday.

The clock is ticking and the hours counting down until Black Friday...for some, the mother of all shopping days. While temperatures are dropping like a rock along the Gulf Coast, would-be-shoppers don't seem to mind. News 5 has reports of "campers" pitching tents at some of the largest retail stores. So far, Best Buy seems to be the most popular campsite. Tents have been pitched along a Best Buy storefront in Pensacola. A long line has also formed at the Eastern Shore Centre Best Buy in Spanish Fort. Some shoppers tell News 5's Diana Lucio they have been standing in line and will stay there until the doors open Friday morning. Some stores plan to open at 4am.
