The tradition of leaving Thanksgiving dinner to go Black Friday shopping is starting to change.

Shopper Matthew Thomas:

“It depends on the store. I think Laced Up probably had no lie over 100 people standing outside but the rest of the mall not really, besides Lulumelon.”

Many stores open the morning of Black Friday or are only doing online deals. Popular brands might have lines but it's best to check online first to see if the prices are worth the effort.

Cyber Monday and Small Business Saturday also contribute to a change of interest in Black Friday deals.
