Over the last few years, American shopping frenzy events Black Friday and Cyber Monday have crept into the Canadian market. Shoppers north of the border can get in on Black Friday deals thanks to the ease of cross-border shopping, PO boxes, or forwarding services.
We no longer have to wait until Boxing Day to score a deal. Plus, Black Friday is a great opportunity to start crossing off your holiday gift giving list early—who doesn’t love a sale?
Whether you’re shopping online or in-store, check out these Asian Canadian brands offering deals for Black Friday 2023.
