For the trivia lovers in the AR Community:
Black Friday refers to September 24, 1869. On Black Friday, a group of speculators led by James Fist and Jay Gould attempted to corner the gold market. They failed, and the resulting collapse in gold, and then stocks, became known as Black Friday.
From this original Black Friday came the practice of labeling market collapses as "Black". TODAY - Black Friday also refers to the Friday after the US Thanksgiving Day holiday. As one of the busiest shopping days of the year, Black Friday is said to turn the retail industry's bottom line from red to black.
Enjoy, whether you choose to competitive shop in person, online, or not at all!
