CASTLE ROCK — Black Friday is no longer the powerhouse single shopping day it used to be, but businesses are still decking the halls for the holiday, even if the deals have already started.
Traditionally, Black Friday was marked by long lines in freezing temperatures with shoppers camping out overnight for the best deals.
While the experience still exists at some stores, these days, shoppers can get many deals online all month, reshaping the way shoppers take part in the frenzy.
"I'm not a big shopper as it is, so, I don't want to come stand in line for hours for something, I don't have the patience or don't really care," said Stacy Voss, a shopper.
"I don't like being crushed in with a lot of people...it makes me uncomfortable," said Kathleen Etter.
According to the National Retail Federation, between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday, it's estimated more than 183 million Americans will shop deals both in stores and online.
