IRON MOUNTAIN -- Stores across the country spend days, even weeks, preparing for the biggest shopping day of the year:  Black Friday.  Big sales and crowds are expected all across the country including the Upper Peninsula.
   
Gliks in Iron Mountain only opened a little over a month ago in the Midtown Mall, but the manager there still expects a high turnout for Friday morning.

"I think it's going to be busy; a lot of people have been asking.  We have a lot of people that travel down to Green Bay that this is going to be their first stop of the day before they get down there.  For a lot of people coming back from Green Bay, this is going to be their last stop of the day, so I think we're going to be busy throughout the day, pretty steady," said Store Manager, Vanessa Holmes.

Once the store closed Wednesday evening, employees spent a couple of hours unpacking all of the Black Friday shipments.
