Black Friday starts early with the Midnight Madness Pajama Jam at Prime Outlets - Ellenton
Want to get a head start on this weekend's shopping madness?
The true deal diehards will be scooping up discounts this Friday from midnight to 8 a.m. at the Prime Outlets in Ellenton. Yes, you read that right. STARTING AT MIDNIGHT. If you need sleep to survive the Black Friday craziness, this might not be the event for you. But if you love the idea of pulling an all-nighter and shopping in your PJs, then drive on down!
As part of the 4th annual Midnight Madness Pajama Jam, the first 500 pajama-clad shoppers in line near Lacoste will receive free goodie bags filled with coupons and giveaways.
What kind of deals will you find at the outlets? Get 40 percent off everything at the Banana Republic Factory Store, up to 60 percent off at Gap Outlet, 30 percent off the entire store stock at GUESS Factory, 25 percent the entire store at Gymboree Outlet, 50 percent off one item at Jones New York, 50 percent off your entire purchase at kate spade, 41 percent off everything at Kenneth Cole...
Okay, you get the picture. Some important things to note: In past years, the I-75 traffic headed to the outlets has been thick, so plan accordingly. Also, many of these deals continue in some fashion throughout the Thanksgiving weekend. If that's the case at your favorites, no need to forgo your sleep to save.
Download the discount details here. (FYI, some stores require that you bring the savings flyer to get the deals.) And for you newbies, the outlets are located at 5461 Factory Shops Blvd. in Ellenton.

Stephanie Hayes came out of the womb wearing high heels. While other kids were reciting multiplication tables, she was learning to calculate an extra third off the half-price discount during buy-one-get-one week. She loves animal prints, black mascara and anything that sparkles. She objects to visible panty lines, Crocs and anything that costs more than a car payment. And she doesn't drive a nice car. She can be reached at (727) 893-8857 or shayes@tampabay.com.

Kameel Stanley has never encountered a thrift store she didn’t like. Her
mother taught her that the true value of clothes isn’t how much they cost,
but how many outfits one can create from them. Having grown up in Michigan,
she was delighted to learn upon moving to Florida that she almost never
needed to wear socks or boots again. There’s a lot of turnover in her
closet, and she’s obsessed with dresses, necklaces and wedge heels. She can
be reached at (727) 893-8643 or kstanley@tampabay.com.
