Forget about Black Friday, many retailers are focusing on Black Thursday. Most big box retailers are turning Thanksgiving into another sales opportunity. K-Mart stores nationwide open at 6 A-M tomorrow.
Despite protests at some big box stores across the country, employees here say they've re-arranged their Thanksgiving plans to accommodate their schedules.
"Our employees are pretty pumped up about it. Pretty excited about the crowds coming in. This is what we live for. This is retail. We love the crowds," said Hershberger K-Mart Manager Paul Wright.
Several other stores are opening up on Thanksgiving. Toys R US and Sears will open at 8 tomorrow evening.
