Black Friday in Russia may have fewer products this year after the summer drone attacks on berry and ozone warehouses, some sellers have lost inventory and working capital, and now entrepreneurs refuse to participate in November sales or reduce the range of discounted products, writes Forbes. Due to the uncertainty of storage, many sellers suspended purchases of goods from China and did not have time to replenish the inventory for the season. The logistics experts also note a decrease in activity: in the months of July-August, the number of freight invoices issued decreased by 12% compared to the year. The owner of the Leonardo chain, Boris Katz, said that the sale, if carried out, would only affect a small selection. Finn Flair also doesn't expect large-scale discounting. The marketplaces themselves are optimistic: RWB sees no preconditions for narrowing down the selection of goods, and the Yandex market reports an interest of sellers and buyers in sales. In 2026, Black Friday falls on November 27. Shopoholism is stopped. Photo: Pixabay Rosblatt in Max.
