Black Friday comes early

Turkey-stuffed New Yorkers will jam the doors of the area’s biggest stores tomorrow night as the Christmas shopping season opens earlier than ever.

Retailers like Macy’s, Best Buy and Kmart, which used to open early on Black Friday, are now opening on Thanksgiving night — leading some in the retail business to rename the holiday Gray Thursday.

WalMart, Target and other stores plan to open as early as 8 p.m.

Macy’s flagship store in Herald Square opens at midnight Friday.

“It’s going to be crazy,” said one security worker.

Many stores plan to control the madness with ticket systems.

Two hours before stores open, for example, Best Buy staffers will distribute tickets to people waiting on line, permitting them to buy limited-quantity sale items.
