A lot of places do, it's a sort of soft opening before the big weekend. Gives the 100 or so brand new employees time to learn their jobs better before they get slammed. When I worked for Gander mtn, they typically did it similarly. They'd have experienced employees come in from other stores to help get the noobs up to speed but normally only 1 or 2 for each department for about 3 days of business and then they're on their own.
