(Associated Press) Early-bird shoppers headed to stores on Thanksgiving in what’s becoming a new holiday tradition.
In the Chicago suburb of Naperville, Illinois, the parking lot of a Wal-Mart store was full roughly 30 minutes before Thanksgiving deals started at 6 p.m., including $199 iPad minis.
In New York City, there were 500 people in line by the time a Target store in the East Harlem neighborhood opened at 6 p.m.
And 200 people rushed at the Toys R Us in New York City’s Times Square when it opened at 5 p.m.
