CNN reports that Home Depot has decided not to follow tradition - offering a single day of deep discounts and promotions - on Black Friday this year.
Instead, the retailer says, "it will offer Black Friday discounts for two months, beginning in early November through December … Given the pandemic, the company indicated that maintaining safety was also a factor in its decision" to follow a less stress-inducing approach.
Home Depot says that "mobile app users will get exclusive early access to some discounts in November."

Hard to imagine that Black Friday will follow traditional parameters at any retailer this year … in part because bring so many people together in a physical environment seems - let's face it - stupid, and in part because burgeoning e-commerce trends have reshaped the landscape.
One again, this isn't any sort of a revolution, but rather an acceleration of trends that would've happened anyway.
