Retailers are supposed to have good enough sales to put them in the black for the year.
Because when a company is in the red zone they are losing buisness, but if a company is in the black zone they are making money and on black friday there are all these sales and more people come to these stores and the stores are gaining money and that means the company is in the black zone. that is why it is called black friday!!!!!!!!
The earliest uses of "Black Friday" come from or reference Philadelphia and refer to the heavy traffic on that day, an implicit comparison to the extremely stressful and chaotic experience of Black Tuesday (the 1929 stock-market crash).
Black Friday is the day shopping very preferential very cheap one day, is to prepare for the big shopping, I think you can go to the shop to see I think you should know. Check out http://www.hblackfridaydeals.com/costco-black-frid... for more information.
Because retailers go into the Black (meaning they make money) instead of being in the "red" (lack of sales).
that is the day all businesses are in such great shape they are in the black. in businesses they use 2 terms in the red or in the black. in the red terrible in the black best thing that can happen.
LOL because every one shop with out looking at the price.
Well if they called it White Friday it would be racist.
