JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 Packed parking lots, early doorbusters and shoppers hunting for the best deals \u2014 that was the scene at St. Johns Town Center on Black Friday.<\/p>\n
News4JAX Reporter Briana Brownlee went to the Town Center on Friday morning and spoke with shoppers, some of whom said Black Friday shopping is more than just scoring good deals.<\/p>\n
Even though in this digital age, a lot of people don\u2019t hit the stores in person anymore, many shoppers told News4JAX that Black Friday is all about getting out, being together, and soaking in the experience.<\/p>\n
One mother and daughter said they\u2019re spending this Black Friday having some girl time. <\/p>\n
They\u2019ve lived in Jacksonville for a decade, but this is their first Black Friday at the Town Center \u2014 and they say this might become a new family tradition.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing out here and just seeing everything in person, feeling the product \u2014 I feel it\u2019s a better feel when you see the actual product in hand,” Carlyon Brown said. <\/p>\n
Dylan Brown, Carlyon\u2019s daughter, said it\u2019s all about having a fun experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s always fun to have the experience with her because I feel like growing up with her is really nice, and having the time to be with her is great,\u201d Dylan Brown said.<\/p>\n
The St. Johns Town Center will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Black Friday.<\/p>\n
