The 2025 Black Friday Sale Was Outrageous

PORTLAND OR (12.01.25) The Outrageous Audio name says it all about the company’s 2025 Black Friday Sale on Friday, November 28th, at the company’s Portland OR store. Customers started lining up before 3AM in the below freezing temperature. When the doors opened at 5AM Owner Blane Hartleb welcomed the first in line, Luke, who had actually camped out since 11PM Thursday night. Luke was the first of hundreds as the line wrapped the building. Luke was also the first in line in 2024.

“We have been having Black Friday events for over two decades. This event was definitely in the top two or three. After we run the sales totals it will be up there again. Our team did a great job getting everything ready and it paid off…. BIG TIME. The support we received from Rob Sutton and the Crossover Marketing crew in the house was very much appreciated” Hartleb related.

“Once again Rob was at the door and store was packed at 6AM and customers were still lined up outside plus the parking lot was jammed well into the morning” Hartled related. Our crew was busy writing big tickets with CarPlay products plus amps, speakers, woofer and speaker boxes. The installation bays were soon full as they were past dark” Hartled added.

***The sales counter was 2 and 3 deep has customers paid for their products.***

There were months of planning that contributed to this Outrageously successful event. Sutton and the crew left the Battle Ground WA area at 3:45AM for the 30 mile drive to Portland for a 4:30AM arrival before the doors opened at 5AM. The menu for the long day was planned in advance with the installers and sales staff bringing something to share. Installers brought full crockpots and grill outside was sizzling and smoking all day.”

The very successful event was slated to wrap at 7PM. But with all large successful events there were customers completing the sales process and installers were finishing installations that filled the bays all day well past 7PM.
