Home Depot moves Black Friday to spring

ATLANTA The Home Depot announced that it will offer "Black Friday" deals this spring.

The company announced that in March and April, prices on hundreds of the most sought after spring products will be significantly reduced including: a variety of live goods and lawn care; outdoor power; eco-friendly gardening products; and patio and grills.

"Spring is our Christmas," said Craig Menear, EVP merchandising. "Traffic in our stores is at its highest during the spring season as customers look to take on outdoor projects to improve the appearance of their homes and we want to give them the best deals possible to meet all of their outdoor needs."

According to Home Depot, the date of its Spring Black Friday event will vary by market based on climate by geography. The first are set to begin on March 18.
