Super Saturday History

Super Saturday refers to the final Saturday before Christmas, a major day of revenue for American retailers. This day also marks the end of the shopping season that began on Black Friday. Crowds of last-minute shoppers hit stores nationwide to secure discounted holiday gifts, creating a bustling atmosphere of anticipation and urgency.

The term "Super Saturday" originated in the early 2000s as marketers sought to capitalize on the last-minute shopping trend. Over time, it has become a significant sales day, often surpassing Black Friday in terms of retail revenue, with shoppers drawn in by hefty sales and discount offers. Major retailers often stay open extended hours to accommodate the influx of shoppers, with many launching their deals in the week leading up to Super Saturday.

Super Saturday traditionally takes place on the Saturday falling at least two days before Christmas. The specific date varies annually, contingent on the date upon which Christmas Day falls each year. Super Sunday takes place on December 23rd, 2023.
