working holiday. president-elect donald trump says he is fighting for jobs this thanksgiving. but there's concern tonight about something he's not doing. and police prank. jersey shore officers pull a driver over only to try to make her holiday. >> announcer: nbc10 news starts now. let the holiday shopping season begin. nbc10 all around our region on this thanksgiving. shoppers from king of prussia to south jersey and philadelphia waited in long lines and packed stores to grab those pre-black friday deals. good evening. thanks for joining us. the holiday shopping frenzy is only just getting started. some stores are just opening while others are getting ready to close for a few hours. still others have been open, and they are staying that way. let's go live to nbc10's drew smith to the target in win fi d wynnefield heights. how busy is it there? >> this is one of those stores

that's going to be open all night and has been open now for many hours. you can see people here still checking out, but it's nothing like it was during the mad rush when it opened. that's because this shopping holiday has turned into something that's about convenience for the customers. that's because they're trying to fight othose online retailers, get people off their computers and actually into the store. the lines formed before the turkey got cold this year. >> i'm looking for video games, stuff like that for the kids. i know if i get here first, i'll get it. >> reporter: it was an orderly but still exciting entrance at the toys r us in king of prus a prussia. the cash registers lighting up at 5:00 this thanksgiving. >> we're going to buy sets and make them. >> reporter: parents were liking the earlier start time because they can bring the youngsters with them. >> perfect. we can come, shop, and we can enjoy the holiday dinner and just hang out and play with whatever he pick up.

in her hand as they shop inside the stores. so they're fighting for the best deals whether in store or online. drew smith, nbc10 news. >> comparison shopping, drew. thank you. shoppers in south jersey are scoring some deals as well. nbc10 at the deptford mall which opened at 6:00 p.m. and stays open until midnight. we found the longest line at pink by victoria's secret. one shopper told us she made sure to eat dinner earlier before heading out. >> got their 50% off sale and i'm happy and ready to go home and eat some leftovers. >> the deptford mall will reopen black friday morning at 6:00 a.m. and stay open until 10:00 p.m. best buy stores are getting ready to close for a few hours before opening again at 8:00 tomorrow morning. we caught up with some shoppers waiting in line outside the best buy in deptford. it first opened at 5:00 this evening. the woman at the very front of the line told us she had been there since tuesday trying to score some new tvs. and down in delaware, packed
