Maher Shoes owner Glen Maher says his stores are already doing well having started Black Friday sales on Wednesday night. Now the owner of Maher Shoes, which has stores nationwide and just opened in Sylvia Park in Auckland, is making the most of the traditionally American sales day. Black Friday was an American shopping tradition where retailers marked the day they "hit the black" for the year or started to earn money. Retail NZ’s Mr Harford said he expected Black Friday to possibly overtake Boxing Day sales this year. Mr Harford said people not travelling overseas and having extra money to spend was a key factor.
