Black Friday
Black Friday
Black Friday is a shopping holiday where many stores and restaurants put great deals on their products. It is the busiest shopping day of the year. It occurs each year, the day after Thanksgiving. Some stores in Grants Pass that will be having sales are Big Lots, Black Bear Diner, Big 5 Sporting Goods, and many stores in the Grants Pass Shopping Center. There are many places near Grants Pass, including the Rogue Valley Mall. Last year broke the world record for online shopping with over 100 million online shoppers! Small Business Saturday is the day after Black Friday every year. It is similar to Black Friday, but for smaller businesses. It is important to the community because downtown Grants Pass is full of small businesses that have struggled through the pandemic.
