The Best Buy near the Dayton Mall opened at midnight and there was already a line that had formed starting as early as Tuesday.
Shoppers were able to get a jump start on their shopping at Toys "R" Us when doors there opened at 9 p.m.
The push to help businesses balance the books is moving Black Friday ever earlier, but the early opening seems to suit customers who don't want to turn down a good deal.
Hundreds of them came through the doors at Best Buy in Miamisburg and soon, the registers were colledcting cash, mostly in the form of credit.
A number of shoppers snagged their dream deal in minutes, moving on to the next store and the next, and the next.
