It later became an opportunity for UK stores to also slash their prices in time for the festive period
Black Friday sales have long been a staple in the United States, but the idea of slashing prices on the final Friday of November is a relatively new concept in the UK.
Like other areas, Greater Manchester saw the sales take a turn and police were called to a handful of supermarkets following a number of reported incidents. At the time, the M.E.N. reported how fights broke out as desperate punters stormed the supermarket chain outlets at midnight to get hold of bargains.
"They were ripping the plastic off the palettes and people started fighting. One girl, who can't have been more than 16, picked up some advent calendars and flung them across the shop." "Shortly after 12.05am on Friday, police called to Tesco Extra on Stockport Road, Hattersley, following reports of fighting in store. Approximately 300 people were present in store and staff were advised to close. One man was arrested for a public order offence."A Tesco spokesman said: "In the interest of customer safety some of our stores in Greater Manchester contacted police last night to help control crowds safely.
