"Black Friday sales, trying to get toys for the kids, and I also came for some toothpaste," Robin Opsahl said.

"I'm actually out here for my mother-in-law, I was at her place for Thanksgiving at 2:00 p.m. and she's quite elderly, she wanted a TV so I said I'd come out and stand in line and I've been here since 3:45 p.m. ," Frank Mack said.

Target opened an hour later at 9 p.m. Best Buy, Old Navy, Kohls, Herberger's and a handful of stores in the Kirkwood mall will open at midnight.
