On the next day, Thanksgiving Day, the big sale day known as "Black Friday" is not only the starting point of the American Christmas consumption season, but also the key point for many retailers to get rid of the deficit and turn red from black to red in the past 1 years in the next 1 years.

According to statistics, the single day performance of "black Friday" accounts for 10% of the average business performance of the entire Christmas consumption season.

Thanksgiving is an important festival for Americans to reunite and enjoy a turkey dinner. Over the years, many stores have been closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas, so that employees can celebrate holidays.

Affected by bad weather this year, retailers in the US moved the business arena of "black Friday" to Thanksgiving Day.

The world's largest retailer, WAL-MART (Walmart), Toys R Us (Us), Sears department store, retail retailer Kmart, apparel retailer Old Navy, opened shop on Thanksgiving Day, and WAL-MART even worked 24 hours a day.

Old Navy, the apparel business, started its business on Thanksgiving Day in 2009. As a result, this experiment oriented strategy has achieved sales success. So this year, Old Navy announced that the 90% branches across the country opened on Thanksgiving Day from 9 a.m.

Although the retail business is popular with many consumers on Thanksgiving Day, there is also criticism on the Internet, which criticize the stores for making money but regardless of the rights and interests of their employees reunion with their families.

Some netizens wrote in the news website discussion area, especially the grass-roots employees were forced to make a choice between family reunion and work. They were afraid that if they did not cooperate with them on Thanksgiving Day, they might not be able to guarantee their jobs.
