The Unstoppable Rise of Black Friday goes down due to Covid-19


The term “Black Friday” is used to refer to the day after Thanksgiving Day in the United States. It first became widely known in the 1980’s. This term was originally created by the police as they associated the chaotic atmosphere especially traffic congestions with the unofficial start of the Christmas shopping season. Black Friday has regularly been the busiest shopping day of the year since the early 2000s. This is so because many retailers started offering exceptional discounts and opening up their stores earlier in the morning to entertain as many consumers as possible.
