Fox Ten News is committed to you having a safe and fun shopping weekend.
Black Friday kicked off early at stores around Mobile.
People began lining up outside Academy Sporting Goods in the Festival Centre before the doors would open at 5 am.
Linda Kelly of Turnerville was asked if it was worth getting up this early.
She said, "It may not be worth it, but you only do it one time a year so, why not? It's fun"
Ceselie Blankenship of Satsuma and friends had been shopping all night.
She said, "After Thanksgiving, we came down and just went shopping and just took a little nap in the car. They did. I didn't actually. I've just been up all night."
At the front of line were Stephen Walker and his wife.
Walker says this is the seventh year he and his wife have come down from Washington County to go Black Friday shopping.
Walker said, "I keep saying, 'Baby, I've got to quit. I've got to quit doing this: you're killing my time off. I can't rest.' She's like, 'Baby, I need your help. I need your help. We got to get this, that.' I'm like, 'Okay.' I fall for it every time."
When the doors opened, Walker was the first one inside.
He was quickly followed by 157 other people: some having a very good time.
Many customers knew exactly what they wanted and dressed in comfortable clothes for the long day ahead.
One group of people had shirts on said, "Black Friday: Challenge Accepted"
Stephen Walker certainly accepted the challenge.
We ran into him and his wife as they were checking out.
When asked if he was going to go home or do more shopping, he said it was up to his wife.
