The main exchange opens at 4 a.m. Nov. 28 to kick off an early start for three days of savings. The store features all the high-demand popular items from flat screen high-definition televisions, to computers, laptops and the ever-popular global positioning system units all weekend long. Merchandise tickets are distributed to shoppers in line outside for the most popular items the morning after Thanksgiving to avoid the rush when the store opens. Special events are planned throughout the day, including a Coach purse sale, 6-7 p.m. Authorized exchange shoppers pick up sales flyers specific to each day to start planning a full weekend of shopping and saving. In addition to activities at the main exchange, the furniture store will be home to a host of great deals on holiday decorations such as Christmas trees and decorative blow-ups for the yard. The furniture store also has a limited toy department.
