Crowds flocked to the Tanger Outlet center in Riverhead, N.Y., as early as 11 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day for the mall's midnight opening.
"We've had record breaking crowds already. Now at 4 a.m. we are still overflowing with shoppers," Janine Nebons, general manager of Tanger Outlet center, wrote in an e-mail to CNNMoney.com.
She said all the 4,200 parking spaces at the center were filled by 11 p.m. Thursday.
"We estimate that more than 10,000 shoppers were already at the center before it officially opened today," Nebons said.
