This event is most popular in the United States and its origin dates back to one of the cities in the country. It is the ideal preview for Christmas shopping.
Black Friday 2024 is coming, one of the events that transformed purchases into installments and with discounts, which will take place this Friday. The date is almost a tradition in USAbut, despite common perception, the name has nothing to do with the red or black ink on traders’ balance sheets.
Black Friday began in the 1950s in Philadelphia, where dozens of suburban shoppers poured into the city in the days after the Thanksgiving Day. The city pushed for big sales and decorations, ahead of a football game between the Army and the Navy, which took place on Saturday.
“It was a double whammy,” Taylor-Blake told CNN. “Traffic cops were required to work 12-hour shifts, no one could leave, and people flooded the sidewalks, parking lots, and streets.”. The police had to deal with all that and coined the term.”
Origin of the name “Black Friday”
The city’s businessmen also began to use the term to describe the chaos related to shopping. In 1961, it was proposed to change the name of the holiday to “Big Friday” so that one of the biggest days in shopping would not have a negative connotation. But that was not successful.
Over time, retailers learned to adopt the name and they even extended the one-day shopping event. Around 2003, retailers increased store opening hours. That year, Kmart, Walmart and Sears They offered discounts before dawn.
That was the same year that Black Friday became the most profitable shopping day of the yearaccording to data from the International Council of Shopping Centers. In 2011, Walmart extended its business hours again when it opened its stores at 10 pm on Thanksgiving night and remained open until Black Friday.
