Long lines of Black Friday shoppers were spotted in Flowood

Dressed in layers and blankets, the cold weather isn’t stopping shoppers from waiting in line for Black Friday. Long lines were spotted at stores like Target and Best Buy in the Dogwood neighborhood in Flowood on Friday morning. An employee told 16 WAPT’s Brooklyn Joyner there were over 100 people in line. Our teams discovered employees handing out free coffee to wake customers up and keep them warm. “Make sure you’re warm because it’s freezing, and don’t sleep. Get up early,” said one shopper. The first shopper in line outside Target said she slept for an hour and was in line at 3:50 a.m. “I had all my clothes out, my gloves, my hat, everything I had prepared,” Hannah said. The buyer said she was on a mission to snag Taylor Swift’s era tour book and the artist’s Anthology vinyl record. “All of us.” “I came out for it, the whole line is here for it and we’re all very excited,” the buyer said.
