With this year’s Black Friday Deals popping up from Walmart to Best Buy, the focus has been on early deals rather than the big lineup for the 5 A.M. store openings. Tragic events from last year have changed major retailers procedures this year.
The death of a temporary worker at Walmart has fueled the latest trend of pre or early Black Friday deals. Many retailers liek K-Mart and Best Buy have started with special deals on days before the famed shopping day.
