'Black-Friday' in Germany

 I can safely say that up to the late 1990s....'Black-Friday' didn't exist in Germany.  Maybe around the American military community and within the BX-empire....it was marginally done.

In the past decade, it's taken root and grown to a great extent.  Around the 2016 period....you began to see signs in windows, discounted rates at electronic shops, and advertising leaflets geared toward the concept.

The past week?  It's gone turbo.

Just about every shop in Frankfurt, Mainz and Wiesbaden has some Black-Friday sales going on.

Thursday operations?  Since there is no Thanksgiving in Germany....it's mostly a day that the shops get prepared and geared to massive sales starting tomorrow morning.
