One of the busiest shopping days of the year? It is THE busiest shopping day of the year. Some retail stores make easily over 1 million dollars on that day. Mine is slated to somewhere around $600,000-$700,000 because it's a brand new store in a new area of the city so we're not really sure how many people will show up. My old store (in VA) would make $800,000 easily and that was a small store.
Well technically, it's not necessarily the busiest shopping day of the year. It only has been a couple of years and often it's not even in the top 3. Typically the last Sat before Christmas is the busiest day. It's just not as sexy and doesn't get hyped up like BF does.
