Ontario Provincial Police said early Thursday that Boxing Day shoppers heading to Toronto Premium Outlets were facing a jam-up just trying to get off the highway.
“Please consider using alternate routes as the #Hwy401 westbound exit to Trafalgar Rd is experiencing significant congestion due to Boxing Day traffic,” OPP said in a tweet.
Best Buy Canada flung open its doors early Thursday in anticipation of bargain shoppers looking for discounts.
“Boxing Day remains one of the biggest shopping days of the year for Best Buy Canada,” the company said in a statement.
While the electronics retailer rolled out deals online Dec. 24, shoppers still lined up outside store locations in the GTA hours before they opened at 8 a.m.
One shopper waiting in line told CP24 he’s eager to see what’s on offer.
