The history of Black Friday

The shopping holiday known as Black Friday dates back to the 1950s, when crowds of suburban shoppers flocked to Philadelphia the day after Thanksgiving, causing traffic jams and packed stores. Over time, the term spread across the United States and eventually around the world. Today, Black Friday has become one of the biggest global shopping events – and South Africa is no exception.

Every year, millions of South Africans eagerly wait for Black Friday specials to grab everything from electronics and fashion to home appliances and groceries at unbeatable prices. Retailers across the country, both online and in-store, offer major discounts and exclusive deals to help shoppers save before the festive season.

The concept has grown beyond just one day — many stores now extend their Black Friday sales into full Black Week or even Black November, giving customers more time to take advantage of great bargains and limited-time promotions.
