Kohl's attracted 200 for 4 a.m. opening
Store Manager Thomas Gebhardt said lines formed an hour before Friday's 4 a.m. opening.
The crowd of 200 to 300 persons, was "well-mannered" and sang Christmas Carols before dashing for doorbusters.
Digital frames, GPS navigation systems and jewelry were hot items at Kohl's and despite the economy, there were many deals to be had this Black Friday, Gebhardt said.
"If you're a value conscious customer, this is the day to shop," he said.
Nancy Ali-Shamaa of Hollywood bought a Presto Cool Touch Electric Griddle for $19.99 (before $10 mail-in rebate), a blender and shirt at Kohl's, attracted by the retailer's "awesome sales."
The 20-year-old student, who arrived 30 minutes before opening, said the $10 Kohl's coupon she received for a $50 purchase was added incentive to start shopping early this holiday.
