Black Friday

What is Black Friday? Black Friday is a shopping event which originated in the US and gained popularity around the world. Black Friday falls on the Friday after Thanksgiving Thursday and hundreds of retailers take part in it, offering massive discounts. Every year, Black Friday marks the start of the holiday shopping fever. 

Black Friday is named after the Wall Street Crash of 1929 when the collapse of the stock market caused an economic crisis. Later, some retailers offered significant discounts on their goods to encourage customers to start shopping again. The event soon became popular and today, Black Friday is one of the biggest shopping events of the year.
