POLOKWANE – Following its phenomenal success last year, Black Friday will return to stores again on 24 November, bringing with it low prices and great deals.

While initially a big sale focused mainly on online retail in South Africa, the craze seeped into brick and mortar stores in 2016 including the biggest retailers like Makro, Pick n Pay, and Checkers.

Known for being an American tradition, Black Friday has come to South African stores for the third time.

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, and is widely regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. Most major retailers open very early (and more recently during overnight hours) and offer low prices with some shops offering up to 80% discount on all goods.

This year will also see online shoppers getting their day with Cyber Monday set to take place on Monday, 27 November where a host of leading online retailers will drop their prices.

While the deals themselves are under wraps, the following retailers have confirmed their participation:

  • Checkers
  • Clicks
  • CNA
  • Mr Price
  • Makro
  • Edgars
  • Builders Warehouse
  • Pick n Pay
  • Dischem
  • Toys R Us
  • Boardmans
  • HiFi Corporation
