Black Friday sales up by more than 50 per cent for some retailers

Retailers rung up a record sales day as Black Friday deals swept up shoppers.

Briscoe Group managing director Rod Duke said the day "was the biggest day in the history of this company", and was likely to be bigger than Boxing Day.

The group's Rebel Sport, Living and Giving, and Briscoes chains all had major sales days "but the spectacular day was at Briscoes", he said.
