=== Mexico === In Mexico, Black Friday was the inspiration for the government and retailing industry to create an annual weekend of discounts and extended credit terms, [[El Buen Fin]], meaning "the good weekend" in Spanish.<ref>{{cite news |newspaper= Wall Street Journal |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052970203611404577044390371357010 |title= Mexico Introduces Its Own Version of 'Black Friday'-Style Shopping Blitz|first=Amy|last= Guthrie |date= November 18, 2011 |access-date= June 20, 2013}}</ref> El Buen Fin has been in existence since 2011 and takes place on November in the weekend prior to the Monday in which the Mexican Revolution holiday is pushed from its original date of November 20, as a result of the measure taken by the government of pushing certain holidays to the Monday of their week in order to avoid the workers and students to make a "larger" weekend (for example, not attending in a Friday after a Thursday holiday, thus making a four-day weekend). On this weekend, major retailers extend their store hours<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.excelsior.com.mx/node/784759|title=Las tiendas ampliarán horarios en Buen Fin|work=Excélsior|language=es|trans-title=Stores will extend hours in Buen Fin|date=17 November 2011|first=Eréndira |last=Espinosa}}</ref> and offer special promotions, including extended credit terms and price promotions.
