Jeremy and Rebecca Wheeler guide their full cart out of a Meijer, in Grand Rapids, Mich., shortly after the store's 6AM sale began on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov. 22, 2012. Her mother, Pat Brakla, checks out behind her. Stores typically open in the wee hours of the morning on the day after Thanksgiving known as Black Friday, named for the period when stores traditionally turn a profit for the year. But Black Friday openings have crept earlier and earlier over the past few years. Now, stores from Wal-Mart to Toys R Us are opening their doors on Thanksgiving evening, hoping Americans will be willing to shop soon after they finish their pumpkin pie.(AP Photo/The Grand Rapids Press, Chris Clark)
