Retailers fined for dodgy Black Friday sales
Three major Australian retailers have been fined for dodgy Black Friday sales. Jeweller Michael Hill, homewares retailer Global Retail Brands Australia, and Hairhouse Online have each paid a $19,800 fine following infringement notices from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), the regulator says. Paying fines does not amount to an admission of breaking the Australian Consumer Law. The consumer watchdog issued the infringement notices after finding the retailers were selling non-discounted items despite their website homepages spruiking 'sitewide' sales or sales on 'everything'. The discrepancies were found during a sweep the ACCC did of Black Friday sales, the period at the end of November where retailers typically have large discounts. 'Businesses that make false discount claims not only risk misleading consumers, they also compete unfairly against other businesses which correctly state the nature of their sales,' ACCC deputy chair Catriona Lowe said. ACCC analysis shows that while Michael Hill had a prominent banner on its homepage promoting a 'member event' 25 per cent off sitewide sale, some items were not discounted. 'Michael Hill's statement may have misled consumers, and contravened the Australian Consumer Law, because some of the products in its online store were not part of the sale and were not discounted,' Ms Lowe said. Global Retail Brands Australia owns MyHouse, which has 28 physical stores in Australia, plus a range of similar homewares businesses. Splashed across the MyHouse e-store late last year was an ad saying 'everything' was subject to a Black Friday sale with discounts up to 60 per cent. The ad also promised an 'extra' 20 per cent off. 'We say this was misleading because the extra 20 per cent discount was not available on all of its products,' Ms Lowe said. 'Retailers need to ensure that their advertising makes it clear to consumers which products are discounted and by how much.' Hairhouse Online promised 20 to 50 per cent off 'sitewide' for Black Friday sales. More than one-quarter of items on the site were not discounted at all, the ACCC says. The haircare retailer is owned by Melbourne-based The Hairhouse Warehouse. Australians spent about $7bn on the Black Friday sales in 2024. NewsWire has contacted the three companies for comment.

Buc-ee's owner lives and wears his job, right down to his custom-made boots
'The rain didn't dampen anybody's spirits,' Arch Aplin III said when Monday's ribbon cutting for the new Buc-ee's travel center in Harrison County moved inside. 'It kind of made it more exciting.' The grand opening had all the excitement of Black Friday, with big crowds, Mississippi merchandise and Buc-ee's food to discover. Aplin posed for photos with customers and talked to employees, who thanked them for their jobs, before he met with the media. Wearing his trademark cowboy hat, he had a Buc-ee's bandage on his hand and lifted his pant leg to show the Buc-ee's beaver logo on his cowboy boots. Buc-ee's has had a huge impact on his personal life, Aplin said. His nickname is Beaver and the logo is a beaver, and so there's no separating himself from his business — 'Not that I would ever want to,' he said. 'You can just tell how much I love this, and I love meeting new people and the passion.' The store in Harrison County is the 52nd Buc-ee's. Grand openings are the best,he said, but groundbreakings, like the one he presided over in September 2023 is his next favorite day of the year, Aplin said. He graduated Texas A&M in 1980 with a degree in construction engineering and worked with his father's construction company before opening the first Buc-ee's in 1982. Now he has cities and counties across the country vying for their own Buc-ee's, he said, and the jobs and economic development the travel centers provide. Buc-ee's in Harrison County employs more than 200 people with a livable wage, and Aplin said that is one of the favorite parts of the company. Full time positions pay between $18 and $24 per hour, plus medical, dental and vision coverage plus other benefits and three weeks of paid vacation. 'It definitely enhances employment opportunities for this side of the county,' said state Rep. Richard Bennett. 'There's room for advancement in Buc-ee's.'
