Pretty soon the After-Thanksgiving sales will be a 24/7 event in Smithfield, with stores at Carolina Premium Outlets opening earlier and earlier each year. In past years stores opened at Midnight just hours after the turkey leftovers were put away, this year nearly 40 stores will open at 9pm on Thursday November 24th.
While football games keep many families in front of the television set on Thursday, November 24th, thousands of diehard shoppers will travel to Smithfield for the “deals upon deals” offered at Carolina Premium Outlets. Shoppers have been lining up hours before the official “midnight” hour for this annual event, which has pushed many stores to open their doors at 9pm.
“We know the outlets will be the center of activity in Smithfield on Thanksgiving Weekend and we love that our stores will be packed,” said Donna Bailey-Taylor, Executive Director, Johnston County Visitors Bureau, “we know and embrace the fact that outlet shopping is our number one attraction in Johnston County.”
The After-Thanksgiving Weekend Sale featuring Midnight Madness extended shopping hours are Fri, Nov 25: Midnight-10pm, Sat, Nov 26: 8am-10pm and Sun, Nov 27: 10am-8pm. Shoppers will enjoy exceptional holiday savings and extended shopping hours, plus, they will experience the biggest shopping event of the year.
