There was a store that had a Black Friday promotion where if you spent a certain amount, you could spin a wheel for extra discounts or free gifts. A customer spent just enough to qualify. When he spun the wheel, he landed on the 'grand prize' which was a $500 gift card for the store. He was over the moon. He used the gift card to buy more items for his family. It was a lucky break that made his Black Friday truly unforgettable.
I know a story about a group of friends who went Black Friday shopping together. They made it a fun event. They had a strategy where each person was in charge of getting certain items.

It was like a team effort shopping adventure on Black Friday.

Sure. There was a Black Friday where a group of friends planned to get the latest video game console. They camped outside the store overnight.

They still managed to get their consoles though.
A big electronics chain had a great Black Friday. They stocked up on the latest models of popular gadgets well in advance. They also had attractive bundle deals.

Sure. Maybe there are stories about the new tech products that were launched on Black Friday. People queuing up for the latest smartphones or gaming consoles. It's a big day for tech sales.

At one Black Friday event, a salesperson was demonstrating a new blender. He put in all the ingredients for a smoothie but accidentally added way too much ice.

One crazy Black Friday story is about people camping outside a store days in advance. They set up tents, brought sleeping bags, and were all ready to be the first ones in when the store opened.

And a store was so overcrowded that people were fainting from the lack of air and the intense heat.
