- Black Friday is often the day after Thanksgiving - a holiday celebrated in America. (Retailers usually offer big discounts to kick off the Christmas season).
- The first major Swiss retailer to discover the shopping event was Manor, which launched its Black Friday sale in 2015.
- Retailers tried to rename it "Big Friday" in 1961 in the hope of giving it a nice name, but the name "Black Friday" stuck.
- In 2022, Black Friday set a record for the highest online spending day in US history with over 8 billion dollars.
- Black Friday has also inspired other unofficial financial "shopping days" such as Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday and Giving Tuesday.
