The Point Shopping Mall will, for the first time in Malta, host Black Friday — an entire day of sales on the last Friday of November. Black Friday abroad is the busiest shopping day of the year. It started in the US in the early 2000s and falls on the day after Thanksgiving.

The online shopping revolution eventually shipped Black Friday across the Atlantic, where year on year, UK retailers enthusiastically embraced Black Friday, becoming more widespread as more retailers joined in.

“Black Friday abroad kicks-off the Christmas shopping season, and we are hoping to get this tradition rolling in Malta too. Through this initiative, The Point customers will benefit from discounted prices on the new collections at most of our stores. Since there are no major sales happening in Malta until after Christmas, Black Friday should be a special treat for local shoppers. 

"At The Point, we remain committed to offer better value to our customers and we are proud to be the first to bring Black Friday in Malta,” says Ilona Debattista, Marketing Manager at The Point Shopping Mall.   

On Friday November 27, shops will be open all day until 10pm. Apart from slashed prices, The Point Shopping Mall customers will also benefit from an all-round shopping experience, including kids’ entertainment and live-bands.  

“We hope Black Fridays will become a yearly tradition in Malta where family and friends get together for a fun day out and enjoy some early Christmas Shopping,” she adds.

Black Friday will, be held on November 27 between 9:30am to 10pm at The Point Shopping Mall at Tigne Point, Sliema.
