Black Friday 2025: Deals and Date Announced
Black Friday is a big shopping day that happens right after Thanksgiving, and this year it's on November 28th!
It's famous for having lots of sales and discounts, like a big sale party for the holidays.
The name 'Black Friday' started a long time ago when police saw how crowded and messy the streets were with shoppers.
Later, stores started calling it Black Friday because they made a lot of money on this day, going from being in the 'red' (losing money) to the 'black' (making money).
Now, it's not just one day, but many sales that can last for weeks.
Stores like Walmart are starting their sales early, with special deals for people who are members of Walmart+.
This helps people save money and find gifts for the holidays.
Black Friday 2025 falls on November 28.
The term 'Black Friday' originated in the 1960s Philadelphia to describe post-Thanksgiving shopping chaos.
By the 1980s, the term evolved to signify retailers becoming profitable ('going into the black').
Walmart is holding its first sales event from November 14-16, with early access for Walmart+ members on November 13.
Black Friday has grown from a single day to a weeks-long global shopping event with massive discounts.
