Black Friday has evolved into a global phenomenon with it becoming synonymous with the post-Thanksgiving shopping rush.

The holiday shopping season is about to reach full speed with Black Friday, which kicks off the post-Thanksgiving retail rush later this week. The annual sales event no longer creates the midnight mall crowds or doorbuster mayhem of recent decades,

Black Friday 2024 falls on November 29, and Thanksgiving falls on November 28. This major shopping event in the United States starts the holiday shopping period. It is meant to attract people with massive discounts on retail goods during this time of the year.

Holiday shopping will soon kick into high gear as Black Friday arrives, marking the official shift to the post-Thanksgiving retail rush.
