Retailers begin holiday dash
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The annual holiday shopping rush started early for many Kansas retailers Friday, as they threw open their doors to bargain hunters before dawn.
Employees at a Best Buy Co. store in Olathe said they had shoppers waiting outside their doors at 1 a.m., five hours before the store was set to open and start selling early-bird specials.
Sara Skinner, manager of guest serv
ices at a Target Corp. store in Wichita, said the line of shoppers for her store stretched to a Red Lobster restaurant across the parking lot.
"We're just excited to have all these people," Skinner said, adding that the crowd numbers were about equal to what the store saw a year ago. Electronics and toys were the big sellers so far, she said.
The Washington, D.C.-based National Retail Federation is predicting a 4.5 percent increase in sales over last year, which is slightly lower than the
5. 1 percent increase retailers saw the year before. Analysts say high gas prices and a still unsteady job market will keep some shoppers more thrifty this year.
Overall, the federation predicted 130 million shoppers will come out this weekend.
Moore, at Hutchinson Mall, said they aren't all women, either.
"We've had more men out shopping, it seems," she said. "I don't know if the wives finally said, 'OK, I need help.'"
A Jayhawk for all seasons
The Kansas Jayhawk outside of the Adams Alumni Center wears a red ribbon in the spirit of the holiday season. The center is one of the first buildings to be decorated on campus.
