Merchands hope to recover their losses and turn them into profit today.They are counting on increased sales.
But why they call it "Black Friday"? wouldnt it be more proper to call today a "Green Friday"?
Black Friday, to me has sinister connotations, green is hope and the color of money.
What do you think?

Finacially speaking, businesses operating with a profit are termed with the phrase "in the black" while operating at a loss are termed with "in the red". The shopping spree on the Friday after Thanksgiving was known as the day businesses actually began showing a profit... thus "Black Friday".

The day after Thanksgiving when shoppers hit the stores at early hours and buy up all the retailers' great bargains--putting retailers in the BLACK (good) for the Holiday season instead of the RED (bad)

Being "In the Black" is an accounting term meaning that they are making a profit.

To get their profit margin out of the red and into the black

I was thinking the same thing and I'm not sure why, but maybe people spend so much money on "black" friday that they don't have enough to pay the electric bill.
