📝 About Black Friday 2026
The term 'Black Friday' was first used by Philadelphia police in the 1950s to describe the chaotic day after Thanksgiving when suburban shoppers flooded the city. Retailers later rebranded the name positively, claiming it was the day their books moved from red ink to black (profit). By the 2010s, Black Friday had evolved from a single-day doorbuster rush into a week-long sales event, with many stores opening on Thanksgiving evening itself. U.S. consumers spent over $9.8 billion online on Black Friday 2023 alone, and the concept has spread globally to countries like the UK, Brazil, and India, even where Thanksgiving is not observed.
