More: Black Friday Shoppers Already Lining Up for Deals
CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio - A week and a half before ‘Black Friday’ and campers are already lining up outside the Best Buy on Howe Road to get their hands on the best of the bargains.
Jonas Allooh is the first in line, putting up his tent at 5 p.m. on Monday.
He said this is the third year for him, although he has a friend who has been staking claim to a place in line for the past seven years.Inside their tent are all of the comforts of home: a bed, a microwave, a television and most importantly heaters.
“It’s cold; it’s windy, and sometimes it rains and snows, so you have to be careful and make sure you stay warm.” said Allooh.
Next door to him is another long-time Black Friday camper, Tony Avitar, who has made it a tradition for the past eleven years.
“I think it was the second year I did it; nobody had the bright idea of camping out in tents. So, we just did sleeping bags on the sidewalk, and it was freezing rain for sixteen hours,” said Avitar.
Both have friends and family who take turns staying there in shifts, including Tony’s parents.
“He had to go take a shower so we’re here filling in for him until he gets back,” said his mother Janet Regic, who cooks for her son, and actually waited in line last year in a wheelchair.
WTF is wrong with these people? I just can’t even.
