Toys ‘R Us Stores Open Midnight on Black Friday

Five extra hours of shopping are available to Toys ‘R Us customers on Black Friday. There will be more than 70 doorbusters available between midnight and 1 p.m. Toys ‘R Us will be giving out 250 thousand Crayola 64 Boxes for free with any purchase."We're raising the bar on Black Friday savings opportunities by expanding our store hours, offering the most sought-after toys in-stock when parents want them, and - of course - delivering outstanding values on items to fit any budget," said Jerry Storch, Chairman and CEO, Toys"R"Us, Inc.

Truthfully I find it a little pathetic that they have to bribe people with free crayons. Of all things crayons. I can imagine this being very successful though. With door busters and people’s ability to stay up late better than wake up early this I believe will prove to be worth it. The public goes nuts over things like this which I also find a little pathetic. It reminds me of previous years where people were killed in a stampede of people on Black Friday. I wonder if stores like Toys ‘R Us take any precautions against that.
