A line of about 50 people formed outside the Staples at Steelyard Commons before the store opened at 6 am But, no crowd control was needed. People just strolled into the stores and glanced around at the specials.
Several people said they came to Staples Because they did not want to deal with the crowds at the bigger box stores like Wal-Mart and Target.
"I thought about going to Target," said Don Reinhardt of Fairview Park. "But, when I saw the line, I said no way."
He was in the store looking for computer equipment for work and was able to snag a couple of computer monitors for $ 89 a piece. They usually retail for around $ 200.
Later, at nearby Old Navy, shoppers were not looking for big ticket items. Instead they were scooping up sweaters and Fleeces for $ 5 a piece where the check-out line stretched across the store.
Cassandra Indrias of North Ridgeville said she stopped into Old Navy before going to work. Fleeces She bought several as Christmas presents. "It's a good deal, you can not beat it," she said.
Indri said she did not know she was going to have to wait nearly an hour to check out. When asked if it was worth it she said "not really, but I am here already."
