Nearly 100 people were waiting in line outside Best Buy in Dublin before the doors opened at 5 o'clock Friday morning.
"I looked on their website a little bit, I see they have stuff on laptops and other Apple products but I don’t know, I’m just keeping an open mind to see what they have," said Pelayo. "Last year I was working at Game Stop and like I was more on the working side so this time I’m trying to see what it’s like being more of a customer," he said.
The people who were shopping before the sun was up were often in and out of the store in just minutes. The National Retail Federation estimates a record 166 million people will shop from Thanksgiving Day to Cyber Monday this year, that's 8 million more than last year and the highest estimate since they began tracking this data 5 years ago. Despite online sales, a majority of Black Friday shoppers surveyed said they still plan to shop in-store instead of online.
"I hate to say we’re back to like normal, but we definitely are seeing the crowds coming back, people are excited," said Carberry.
