The event was imported to France in 2013 under the impetus of major brands: Cdiscount, Fnac, Rue du Commerce and Darty, but it has existed in the United States for decades.
This great day of promotions was in fact created in 1930. American traders then suffered the full brunt of the great depression caused by the stock market crash of 1929. Eager to revive the economy, they decided to take advantage of the effervescence that followed the Thanksgiving festivities in an attempt to boost their sales.
The term Black Friday was first used in the 1960s. Its origin is uncertain and several explanations have been put forward.
Some claim it is due to the color of the ink used by traders to record profits in their accounts.
Others argue that this name was inspired by the heavy traffic jams the day after Thanksgiving, or that it comes from the fact that customers were trampling in front of the shops on this day.
