"The Black Friday event was great, I picked up a lovely new dining set online and had it delivered the next day. I was out at the time, but the communication was excellent from Leaders, making it simple for re-delivery."

"I'd never shopped with Leader before, so wasn't sure what to expect. The order process from start to finish was simple and my new furniture looks fantastic. Everyone's amazed how much of a bargain it was."

"I travelled to the store and the lady who served me was very friendly. She helped me find what I was looking for as the shop was busy on Black Friday. Quick & easy just how it should be!!"

"We were on the hunt for a new bed after our last one bought locally had broken. We shopped around and decided to wait until Black Friday and were so glad we did as Leader Stores saved us over £150!"

Way back in 1869 in the USA, the first recorded use of the term "Black Friday" was in fact nothing to do with winter holiday shopping, but instead was due to a financial crisis - The collapse of the US gold market was when the term was coined.
Around the 1950's in Philadelphia, the term was often used by the Police, who started referring to the day after Thanksgiving as "Black Friday". This began because it was a day that nobody wanted to be at work, due to massive traffic jams, overcrowded city streets filled with shoppers and also sports fans travelling to the Annual local American Football game.
"Black Friday" caught on with retailers in Philadelphia, as the start of the Christmas shopping season. They tried to change the name to "Big Friday" however, this did not catch-on.
Retailers re-invented Black Friday as a positive experience. Turning it into a day where American stores finally made a profit. This then spread across the USA.
Amazon began offering "Black Friday discounts" in 2010, though not many of us noticed or took advantage! This was the first real time a discount day before Christmas happened, traditionally it was unheard of until Boxing Day.
Many big name UK stores began to offer in-store savings, and in 2013 sparked the trend which would begin Black Friday as we know it in the UK.
How has it changed high street & online shopping in the UK? Well, November is the new December. Many people believe people aren't necessarily spending more, they're just spending earlier in the year. What would traditionally have been spent in Boxing Day sales, has now shifted slightly towards November & Black Friday.
Make sure you sign up today to ensure you're in the know this Black Friday and ahead of the queues!
