History

Historical Context

Black Friday, established as a major shopping day in the U.S. after Thanksgiving, evolved from a 1939 presidential change to extend the Christmas shopping season. Initially linked to post-Thanksgiving sales, it gained prominence in the 1980s as retailers sought to shift from losses to profits. By 2014, online sales reached $2.4 billion, reflecting changing consumer habits and the rise of e-commerce.
