Black Friday

Whatever happened to Black Friday (the biggest shopping day of the year) being on Friday only?  Now Black Friday begins on Thanksgiving Day at some stores and even on Thanksgiving eve...Wednesday. Well, some store have said enough is enough.

A few years back, the Saturday following Black Friday was designated "Small Business Saturday." The idea is to ask shoppers to think local during one of the biggest shopping weekends of the year. Several local businesses in Hannibal will be offering Small Business Saturday specials in 2013.

Ok. the dust has settled from "Black Friday" and the numbers are coming in from that monumental day of sales.  So Just how much money did you spend shopping on that day after Thanksgiving?

You heard it here first, "Black Friday" will become a thing of the past within a few years. This day where retailers would see their sales escalate to get them into the "black" is being manipulated by the very people who need it the most...the retailers.
