Black Friday History
The first use of Black Friday dates back to the Fifties in Philadelphia. The local police department used the term to describe the traffic jams and crowded stores on the day after Thanksgiving. It wasn't until the 1980s that the phrase caught on in the US and became a marketing ploy. It refers to the financial status of stores going from "in the red" to "in the black" as profits increase.Now, Black Friday has become one of the biggest shopping events globally, spanning multiple days and including deals on various products.
