Black Friday, originally a term used by Philadelphia police to describe post-Thanksgiving chaos, has evolved into a major shopping event. The name was initially associated with traffic issues and crowd control, not discounts. Attempts to rename it 'Big Friday' failed, and the term spread across the U.S. in later years. Although it became linked to retail profits, this interpretation was a marketing strategy rather than its true origin. The event has grown globally, leading to the creation of Cyber Monday and Small Business Saturday, transforming the post-Thanksgiving weekend into a significant shopping period.
