Anyone who needs to ask "When is Black Friday?" must not know that Black Friday is the biggest holiday shopping day of the year.
It often begins at midnight on Thanksgiving, (12 a.m. Friday, the day after Thanksgiving), when shoppers make a mad dash for the season's hot items. It's called Black Friday because it's the day when retailers see their revenues jump into the black and actually become profitable.
Black Friday ads are usually leaked online at sites including http://bfads.net. And according to them sales begin 8 p.m. Thursday. So maybe it's good you asked, 'When is Black Friday?' Because it appears to be starting earlier this year.
