Shoppers outside an Aeropostale store at the Queens Center Mall in the borough of Queens in New York over the Black Friday weekend, on Saturday, November 26, 2011. Sales for Black Friday this year show a percent increase from 2010 with retailers hoping that the increased numbers and foot traffic bodes well for the Christmas season. Many stores were open extra hours, some as early as 9PM on Thanksgiving, contributing to the extra foot traffic. (© Frances M. Roberts)
