Are lines at Sears long on Thanksgiving?

no-_~

Did you go in a past year?

Every store is more crowded than normal. But overall, there is far less of a crowd at Sears than at other stores. That said, they are opening early - so people might show up there before hitting the other stores. Overall I think you would still spend up to 45 mins to check out once you have the product.

I go there everyday and hide stuff like pool tables in the garden section, then head back to buy

Okay, thanks, I was thinking more along the lines waiting outside the store before the sales start on Thanksgiving. I just want to be early enough in line to get the TV. Do they do tickets? Or is it run in a try and grab it before someone else does?

The last time I was at Sears at opening was 2 years ago. There wasn't a line so much as crowds around each entrance. They unlocked the doors and people poured in. It was a mess.

Same experience. Although I was not at the "Electronics" entrance, I believe that it was the same there also.

try the store a couple of days early, sometimes they will give the price early at sears.

I'd worry more about the checkout lines, than any lines to get in trhe store. Their checkout setup in not "BF-Friendly".
I walked in last year 5 min after they opened. Asked as associate if they still had any Doorbuster snow blowers. They did, and he took me to a closed cash register, rang me up, and I was out of there in 5 minutes. The lines at the open check out stations were ugly and unorganized.

You're already too late

I'm glad you asked this OP since I was also wondering the same thing .. if they line up outside very early. Not sure what I want to do since it will be a 8pm ... a very reasonable hour for most people.

I'm not worried about how long it will take me to check out .. I just want to try to make sure I get what I'm going for.

So if anyone has anymore input on this it would be appreciated. Do you think people will be lining up a Sears since they're opening so early?
