SALISBURY, MD — While Thanksgiving has come and gone, Black Friday, the busiest shopping day of the year, is here. People across the country flocked to stores in search of the best deals, and Delmarva was no exception.
At The Centre at Salisbury, customers filled the mall, eager to take advantage of the deals and get a head start on their holiday shopping. With discounts of 30%, 50% off, buy one-get-one free, plenty of shoppers came to snag items at lower prices.
Some shoppers, like Shelby Dechert, appreciated the crowded atmosphere, reminiscent of busier times at the mall.
"I feel like it’s giving an older vibe. I feel like the mall used to be a lot busier, but with online shopping and stuff you don’t see people in here as much. It’s kind of nostalgic, like older times," she said.
Even though the era of midnight madness may be in the rearview mirror, employees working on Black Friday reported that the crowds were still flowing in.
"Much bigger crowd, it started off there wasn’t many people in here, but now later in the day everyone's starting to get in here," noted an employee Mauriah Stanley
The sentiment among workers was clear: more customers mean a successful day.
"Come on out! Support! Spend money! It’s the holidays!" said employee Keisha Gattis
Black Friday kept the annual Thanksgiving weekend tradition alive in Salisbury.
