Pandemic numbers are spiking across the country just as the holiday season arrives in full force. Because of COVID-19, many holiday traditions will look different this year.
One thing that hasn’t changed: Black Friday shopping.
Best Buy’s stores will be open for in-person shopping on Black Friday. Nevertheless, many customers will opt to do their shopping online to minimize their risk of contracting coronavirus. Because of widespread pandemic fears, experts predict that online sales will grow between 25% and 30% this holiday season.
