Shop early, shop late — the choice is yours on Black Friday.
Long Island’s retail stores are catering to shoppers who’ve made a tradition out of staying out all night chasing bargains.
While more stores are closed — or scaling back their hours — on Thanksgiving Day this year, plenty of others are offering round-the-clock deals and giveaways. For the third year in a row, Toys R Us will keep its doors open for 30 hours.
Savvy shoppers know you shouldn’t just show up and browse — you need a strategy.
