NEW YORK—By noon on Friday, Matt Kennedy, 19, and Nick Deriu, 20, had amassed a huge amount of shirts.
The students, both from Long Island, were shopping at Macy’s in Herald Square for Black Friday. The mall opened its doors early, on Thursday evening, to record crowds and almost 15,000 shoppers.
By midday Friday, the shopping had calmed and the crowds had dispersed. Still, through Tuesday, Dec. 2, Macy’s has select items that will be discounted up to 75 percent online and in store.
“There’s so much that you want to take,” said Kennedy. The boys are shopping for themselves, though Deriu might buy something for his girlfriend. They had seen a buy one get one free men’s shirts deal.
