November 23, 2018

People lined up in Hamilton early this morning [Nov 23] to take advantage of Black Friday specials being offered by the island’s retailers, some of which opened as early as 5.00am.

Local retailers including Gibbons Company, P-Tech, Phoenix Centre, Annex Toys, and Brown & Co all offered major discounts as they opened at 5.00am.

Phoenix CEO George Grandmuller told Bernews, “It has been a busy morning so far. We had a good crowd this morning and it feels like the numbers are up over last year. People are out in force and everybody has a good time; 6.00am or 6.30am this morning, so so far, so good.

“We’re always selling all the hot toys, so we have quite a few things on special. We have our doorbusters out there, and people go for that. People came in yesterday and pre-selected a little bit and mapped out the store so they know exactly where to go.

“On the ground floor, obviously we have all of our pharmacy products and beauty products on sale, selling a lot of cosmetic items, which is really nice. People are out there and supporting us and we really appreciate that and thank you for that.”
